The title says it all:
Today we are saying farewell with warm regards to Cliff Bleszinski, who is departing as Epic’s design director to chart the next stage of his career.
On the community’s behalf I’d like to thank Cliff for his hard work (not just on Jazz!) and wish all the best in his future endeavours.

“We are grateful for his influence on Epic’s legacy, from the wild adventures “Jazz Jackrabbit” to the visceral combat of Gears of War.”
found out about this today through FB lol. Stopped by to drop the news here but was beaten to it ;( Pretty crazy the guy has been working for Epic since pretty much when I was born. Wonder what his plan to do next in life is
That was surprising to say the least.
Well, we’re screwed.
Best of luck to Cliffery, though.
Also, that is a great post icon choice. Sometimes I think picking out those little doodads is the real highlight of running J2O.
NOOOOO!!!!! SAY IT ISN“T SO!
Oh, well. Best of luck to you, Cliffy, and thanks for all the memories! You’ll always be remembered as one of Jazz’s staunchest supporters. Hope wherever you go next goes well for you!
:O
Well that was unexpected. Hope he does well wherever he ends up.
Good luck with your future career, Cliff!
I wonder where his career will bring him next. Perhaps starting a new studio like Arjan did? Or being sick of all the ‘fame’ and restart as an indie? :P
Either way, good luck Cliff! ;)
Violet: I’m quite proud of it, yeah.
Anyone wanna speculate what exactly is gonna be “the next stage of his career”? Some say he’s gonna quit the industry whole, I think he might have a jab at going indie.
He’s gonna live in Noogy’s garage.
Aliens have invaded earth
Good luck in your future career, Cliff! Don’t forget about your little breakthrough game though!
@Violet/Cooba: are you talking about the ‘no gears’ (or whatever you call it) icon?
Maybe he’s going to take a break from games for a while, and maybe go Indie or something in a few years.
Cliffy left Epic for [GpW].
He’s currently in our bootcamp in Romania, with Kenny and Snooze and we’re prepairing him for this season ladder finals.
