THUNDER TIER ONE

Thunder Tier One is a realistic top-down shooter where you join an elite special operations team tasked with stopping a dangerous terrorist organization wreaking havoc across the fictional Eastern European country of Salobia.

Thunder Tier One started as a personal project for PUBG Head of Action and Gunplay Unit Pawel Smolewski when he was working at Bohemia Interactive in 2016. He shared the idea with colleagues Nelson Duarte and Arseniy Smirnov, and together they began developing the game. However, production stopped after a year as the team had other commitments. After restarting work and pitching the idea to Krafton in 2020, the team recruited Pedro Pinho, Jorge Aguiar, Lorenzo Salvadori, Ricardo Mota, Ricardo Sousa, Joao Rebelo and Michał Flodrowski to help them work on the game.
