PSLS: "Few names in the gaming history have as impressive a résumé as Cliff Bleszinski. From Jazz Jackrabbit and Unreal Tournament to Gears of War and Infinity Blade, the former “Dude Huge” has been directly involved in some of gaming’s most successful franchises (especially shooters). After spending 20 years at Epic Games (and essentially becoming the face of the company), Bleszinski left the company. After initially considering a retirement from the games industry, he founded Boss Key Studios in 2014 and announced that they were working on their first game LawBreakers (it was originally known as BlueStreak).
Three years later, LawBreakers is finally set to release and gamers will get to see all of the studio’s hard work. The team-based first-person shooter game looks to be one of the most promising August releases, and we’re here to tell you why you should care about it."
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'm excited for this and hellblade and they are both $30.
