SplashDamage have returned to the PC FPS Realm with their latest title DirtyBomb. To be launched on the Unreal 3 engine the game is a made for PC FPS title that in the words of Paul Wedgewood when I bumped into at Gamescom 'you guys will really like'.

RIot Games League of Legends Season 2 finals start in Los Angeles, California today. With $2m up for grabs in prize money the much talked about tournament will conclude in style with the worlds best ready to fight it out.

Blizzard, famed developers of the Starcraft and Warcraft series and fresh from the new WoW update are readying their next moves in the games sector. In an eSports sense the developer, despite being a profound supporter of eSports, have recently been overshadowed by moves made by Valve and certainly RIOT. Now the boys in blue are ready to strike back...

ET developer Splash Damage have today made some large company announcements as they announce both a new game and a new game publisher as they focus their efforts onto the mobile space.

Today Splash Damage announced the pending release of their turn based tactical combat game, RAD Soliders. The Game is a far cry from their World War 2 antics on the ID Tech engine but for those who do love a good mobile game it looks fun enough.

Splash Damage appear to have freed themselves of both Activision and Bethesda with whom they've published their most recent works and migrated their publishing to exclusively free to play titles. In doing so they've founded "a brand-new British Publisher of free digitally distributed games, whose production values are set to bring AAA for all leading platforms focusing on connected experiences across them all." called Warchest.

Little hope for the ET fan? Well maybe not. Splash Damage do confirm work on a free to play, unannounced, secret PC game. Splash Damages biggest success to date came with such a project known as Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory so maybe just maybe Splash Damage will return to their roots and pickup their MP40's once more. If they did pickup their MP40's it wont be on an IDTech engine as the company has migrated onto the Unreal 3 Engine for their upcoming PC project! I hereby personally guarantee Mr. Wedgewood more downloads on an ET Sequel than on any iOS game! Who's with me?

With the cat well and truly out of the bag after Krein's comment in Merlinators recent column the Digntias side have returned to ET at the request of their sponsor, Razer. A brand replete with ET heritage has looked to invest in a different avenue of ET lineup. No Night, Reload or Sanctity but a group who would want it more:

Krein (c)
Robaciek
kot
d0ktor
wiaderko
R0ss

Dignitas will be moving R0SS out to Poland to train with the team and learn the language at the new Dignitas Poland Gaming house. R0SS welcomed the opportunity to leave Anexis after recent tensions with Night wanting to bring Jere into Anexis to replace the Brit.

Krien had this to say:

This is the greatest opportunity I could have hoped for. We turned down the opportunity to join 141 because we didnt want a free gameserver. I've wanted to play with R0SS for years and so to bring him into the team was a no brainer. We won't let this chance pass us by.

You can see Dignitas compete in BFB2 later this month, expect to see some big things from this talented bunch.
