Lawbreakers, the game that is on life support right now, gets the biggest update since it has been launched. The update is called All-Star and it will be featuring a ranked mode and boss leagues.
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.
ah the game no one wants to play because someone thought hopping on a trend is enough to make people care.
Just give it up Cliffy. At this point nothing can save this. Accept your loss and swallow your pride and put your resources toward something better.
You know I played it and it was fun. I stayed away from the politics about the dev or whoever making comments about this and that, I just didnt see the longevity of the game compared to others I already played. There was a few OP characters that could use a little tweaking and some gawd awful button maps (They didnt have button remapping like games in the 2000s for some reason!!), but it was fun. My thoughts going away was how long can I play a game where I just run full tilt and blast everything in site without much strategy to be used, and I had a pretty good K/D as well so I didnt feel like I was playing it wrong. It really felt like an Arcade game. Blast, Fun, Blast, Fun, Blast, Fun - Game over - "Ok what other game can I put a $2 coin in now". I kinda feel like going back but meh, I know Ill get that exact arcade experience and feel like I need some substance instead on my console. I didn't get this feeling with Overwatch but I cannot explain why there is a difference between the 2 but there definitely is
