Being a part of the new parent company, OVERKILL relocated to the Starbreeze offices in the heart of Stockholm and joined up with the rest of the Starbreeze team, gathering two great teams with rich and knowledgeable histories of how to make awesome First Person Shooter games.Today, the OVERKILL crew is a blend of industry veterans, freshly graduated specialists and great partners. It’s a veritable melting pot of experience and ambition and a new approach to development that will kill over the traditions.
