Dirty Bomb is an online multiplayer FPS that is free-to-play, featuring team, objective and class based gameplay developed by Splash Damage. It is a spiritual successor to Splash Damage's previous games Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Brink.[1]
The game was initially published by Nexon America from 2013-2017, and then by Warchest from 2017 onwards.[2] The game entered closed beta in October 2013, and open beta in June 2, 2015.[3] The open beta saw a concurrent player count peak of 12,963 players in June 2015, which declined to 5,304 players in September 2015.[4]
Splash Damage announced that Dirty Bomb would no longer receive developer support on October 18, 2018. Dirty Bomb's microtransactions were disabled January 15, 2019,[5] however nearly all items can still be unlocked through gameplay at nearly triple the previous speed.[6] Dedicated servers have shut down, however there are some community servers which are still active and concurrent players peaked at 716 in April 2020.[7]
