Fan project to revive LawBreakers gets Cliff Bleszinski's backing, as he eyes the prize of somehow g

Released in 2017, Lawbreakers was the first game from the now-defunct Boss Key Productions, a studio founded by Cliff Bleszinski following his departure from Epic Games. It was a high-speed, high-skill FPS that slotted neatly into the Unreal Tournament lineage but, , lasted barely a year .

Or so it seemed. Bleszinski is and, ever since Boss Key went down, has at various points teased the possibility of a Lawbreakers comeback: even saying last year that his "LA lawyer" . Sadly even LA lawyers find it difficult to get around the fact that Nexon owns the rights to the game, and there's been no official revival of the title.

But unofficially, a group of devoted fans have been working to bring the game back. The effort began in February 2021 (on Discord, at least), and was kept underground by project leader Red, lest Nexon take an interest, before breaking cover this past week for a public playtest. Set expectations appropriately: The goal is to bring back Lawbreakers as it was, but this is not a remaster and the game won't be changed or added-to in any way (Red says there's a possibility of some balancing tweaks, but they'll cross that bridge once the thing's up-and-running).

"Somehow LawBreakers is coming back," , before sharing a link to his wife streaming the game and joining the Discord. He then went on to make possibly the worst game-related joke : "Funny how Lawbreakers is rising from the ashes. Kinda like...a Fenix."

Quite. Back on planet Earth the playtest (now closed) seemed to go well and prove that the fan project's servers are up to the task ("it's held up beautifully"). While enthused about the chance to "battle in Zero G like in the good U31 com old days" Red does emphasise that some stuff is "either broken or does not work as intended", before encouraging their fellow Lawbreakers to "just h25 com สล็อต have fun with other people living the hype!"

The project does not yet have a public release date, . Red emphasises they're "a small team and m358 เครดิตฟรี 188 this is insanely complex to properly do" and, while there are plans for another playtest soon, they're still looking for additional bodies on the development side to "help us make this the best possible preservation of LawBreakers."

One fan said to Bleszinski that this should show Nexon that players want the game to come back. "That's what I'm hoping for," .

Why not, I suppose. To celebrate the occasion Bleszinski did have a treat for fans, releasing two previously unseen cinematics from the game's world.

Outside of trying to revive Lawbreakers, Bleszinski's been keeping busy with a comic about in a dystopian future, as well as about his time in the industry.
