Bigpoint Inc.today officially unveiled its first title built entirely in the United States, Ruined Online.

“In under a year, our SF-based team has created an extraordinary browser game that nothing else in our segment can match,” said Heiko Hubertz, CEO and founder, Bigpoint. “We are excited to release this game and are confident that it will appeal strongly to American gamers who enjoy exotic weapons, rich graphics, and carnage. We are also looking forward to inviting gamers from all over the world into Ruined later this year.”

Set in ruined venues inspired by some of San Francisco’s most famous landmarks, Ruined Online is a fast-paced, tournament-style third-person shooter that pits players against one another in a competition to become the ultimate villain. Currently in beta, the game will be available to select US gamers starting March 2. A European release of the eagerly anticipated game is planned for summer.

Created by a veteran game development team, Ruined Online boasts an array of impressive features – such as high-end graphics, effects, and audio – designed to appeal to hardcore gamers. Playable through any web browser, gamers can satisfy their craving for action anywhere they have access to an Internet connection.

At the upcoming Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, Bigpoint will showcase Ruined Online’s first six characters and combat arenas, including The Bridge, The Prison, and The Fort where players can compete in timed deathmatch battles.
