"I couldn't be more excited about this influx of amazing talent to Splash Damage, especially as we start developing for multiple platforms," added Paul Wedgwood, owner of Splash Damage. "Their experience and knowledge are a hugely positive contribution to Splash Damage and will help us further establish Splash Damage as one of the up-and-coming studios in the world."
"I'm thrilled to be working here at Splash Damage," said Art Director Olivier Leonardi. "These guys treat each game as a unique creative exercise, rather than just going through the motions year after year, and that really impresses me."
Adding to its substantial collection of accolades, Splash Damage has recently been nominated for an impressive six Golden Joystick 2008 awards and two prestigious Develop 2008 Industry Excellence Awards for the creation of its hit PC title, Enemy Territory: QUAKE WarsTM.
