The first of a series of five developer diaries for Brink has been released, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of The Ark - the huge floating city on which the action is based - and the factions that are fighting for control of it.

The trailer includes commentary from Creative Director Richard Ham and Game Director Paul Wedgwood and several other Splash Damage folk and helps set the scene for the story and environment of the game, as well as offering up some neat bits of gameplay action as well.
