15-year industry veteran to drive vision for studio's new title.
London, England - 8th December 2008 - Splash Damage today announced that it has appointed industry veteran Richard Ham as Creative Director. Richard comes to Splash Damage having completed Lionhead's critically acclaimed hit Fable® II as Lead Designer, and was the creative lead of Syphon Filter®, the all-time best-selling shooter franchise for the original PlayStation®.
In his new role as Creative Director at Splash Damage, Richard will drive the vision and lead the design team behind their new AAA multi-platform title being developed in partnership with Bethesda Softworks, creators of the blockbuster hit Fallout® 3. Richard will work alongside the wealth of talent that has joined Splash Damage throughout 2008, including senior, lead, and directorial staff behind hits such as Mass EffectTM, Rainbow Six® Vegas, Heavenly SwordTM, and BurnoutTM Paradise.
Still no news about what this game actually is, but Blast Damage has typically been an id-Engine developer.
