The Case for Bethesda to Reinvent Brink as a Modern Shooter

Though it launched in 2011, the online shooter Brink hasn’t technically disappeared. The game servers are still running, but the player base has shrunk to just a handful of dedicated fans – around ten at the time of this writing. Many newer gamers aren’t even familiar with the title. Developed by Splash Damage, Brink showed promise, but a combination of unfortunate timing and a feeling of being incomplete compared to other games at the time ultimately led to its decline. It became known as one of the most disappointing games of the 2010s. However, there’s still potential for Bethesda and Splash Damage to revive the game by updating it to fit today’s gaming trends.
