PlayStation LifeStyle’s Tyler Treese: “I spent part of this past weekend playing the open beta for Boss Key Productions’ LawBreakers. To be completely frank, I really suck at the game. That’s not to say that I didn’t have an enjoyable time with Cliffy B’s latest game, though, as it was really quite the opposite. I had a blast exactly because I wasn’t immediately inside the comfort zone that I’m in when I play Titanfall 2 or Overwatch online.”
An unofficial fan-made launcher for Nexon and Boss Key Productions' first-person shooter, Lawbreakers, has once again made the game playable after 6 years.
After six years since servers were killed off, LawBreakers is being revived in an unofficial capacity with playtests happening this weekend.
Hey, if Gigantic can garner enough attention it can happen for LawBreakers too. Funny thing is that both would share a similar story if going multiplatform:
-Gigantic remained Xbox One/PC until closure
-LawBreakers remained PS4/PC until closure
Cliff Bleszinksi, aka Cliffy B, opened Boss Key Productions in April 2014 and released the first-person shooter LawBreakers in 2017 for the PlayStation 4 and PC. The studio would close in May 2018 and the servers for the game would shut down in September 2018.
Bleszinksi shown interest in resurrecting LawBreakers. Publisher Nexon also owns the rights to the IP and Bleszinksi is open to talking with Nexon CEO Owen Mahoney.
Lawbreakers was never successful, and therefore not worth reviving. It was hero-shooter [incorrectly labeled as an arena] that failed cash in off the popularity of Overwatch.
LMAO I guess he really thought it was going to be competition.
This wasn't the only game that failed and claiming to be something entirely different.
Battleborn anyone?.
Battleborn flopped but had more going for it than Lawbreakers. Oh how i had wanted to like BB. It had solid art and characters and a campaign but the gameplay nor story were there.
I'm still amazed this guy opened a new studio, and then shut it down after their first game flopped. Your excuses didn't matter cause all that people got was their money taken, and a product they could no longer play.
I played the beta as well it was fun for a short while but got stale pretty quick, felt a lot like old FPS games like Quake or Unreal but with a modern Overwatch coat of paint. I might play it from time to time if it was free to play but I dont think I'd care to buy it. Besides for me theres just to much other stuff coming I'm more interested in anyway.
