"Endgame" wurde von Andy Sneap und Dave Mustaine produziert, der bereits beim 2007er Album "United Abominations" als Produzent agierte. Vier Songtitel wurden bereits bekannt gegeben: "Headcrusher", "1,320", "How The Story Ends" und "This Day We Fight!".
"Endgame" strotzt vor Technik, Heftigkeit und Wildheit, für die Megadeth um Mastermind Dave Mustaine bekannt sind. Das Album ist ein aggresives Meisterwerk, das wahrscheinlich die beste Arbeit Mustaines in den letzten zwei Jahrzenten darstellt. Wiedereinmal nimmt Mustaine kein Blatt vor den Mund, wenn er über die Missstände in der Welt schreibt.
Mustaine selbst sagt über "Endgame": „Thematically, I've never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President's legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document, which was signed into law, named ‘Endgame,' has been uncovered. The album 'Endgame' is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed ‘ENDGAME' -the document- into law. The album is also the perfect ‘ass- kicking' music to listen to once you are done reading the aforementioned document!"
"This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) Rust in Peace album," fährt Mustaine fort. „With this album I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist Chris Broderick to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn't wait to get into the studio and see what he could do."
Neben Dave Mustaine und Chris Broderick komplettieren Bassist James LoMenzo und Schlagzeuger Shawn Drover das MEGADETH Line-Up.
