Splash Damage announced today that its post-apocalyptic F2P FPS title, Dirty Bomb, will enter its open beta phase on June 2nd. In order to celebrate this announcement, Splash Damage released a new video and some new screenshots for Dirty Bomb that can be viewed below.
Paul Wedgwood, CEO of Splash Damage, said:
“Dirty Bomb takes us back to our roots as a company dedicated to making competitive multiplayer shooters for hardcore gamers. Twenty years ago I played obsessively in a clan, competed in tournaments, made a mod for Quake 3, and as a result, founded Splash Damage with clan mates and friends. We’re grateful to have Dirty Bomb shaped by our players from an early alpha stage – With their dedication and feedback, along with the support from Nexon America, we think we’ve created something special.”
Dirty Bomb is a return to the classic FPS PC feel with frenetic run ‘n gun action built for players with an appetite for heated competition, and the first in a new generation of games published by Nexon America.
Dirty Bomb is described as a unique asymmetrical team-based game in which players will select from a diverse group of Mercenaries, each with their own shining personalities, assorted talents and super-cool weapons, to create specialized squads to take into the fray on a quest for riches and bragging rights.
Enjoy!

The game is awesome, I played it for almost 100 hours already. It’s the splash damage formula in it’s purest form, with unique characters. It’s fun, it’s fast and requires skill. Highly recommended.
again ?
As someone who has took part in the closed beta: Don’t bother.
Dirty Bomb does nothing special.
But you can shoot people in first person. That’s pretty novel.
I’ve been testing this game for over 2 years and I have mixed feelings as this game comes closer to a release. It was very good in pre-alpha, alpha & beta before Steam, then they turned it into a freemium game locking all characters behind grindless paywalls. Also there are plenty more characters that have been removed since last year which no doubt they will be added back in but you will need to pay for them.
