Cliff Bleszinski’s Boss Key Productions have announced that LawBreakers, which was previously announced as a free-to-play title, will know come with a price tag, although they do stress it it will not have the $60 price point of a traditional box product.
“As the game continued to take shape, we realised free-to-play wasn’t the right fit for what we’re building,” said Cliff Bleszinski. “LawBreakers is a competitive game at heart and that means balance is a big priority to me, my team, and our community. Using a digital premium model helps ensure an even playing field by giving fans access to every available role without any barriers.”
The game has also had a visual overhaul to distinguish it from the numerous sci-fi multiplayer shooters that are landing on PC in the near future.
“Being constantly compared to the current slew of colourful shooters on the market made us realise we needed to stand out from the crowd,” Bleszinski continued. “We decided to take a step back and explore how we could dial up the maturity in LawBreakers, going back to our original vision. The new look and feel embraces the innovative and vertical nature of our game elevated by violence, intensity and competition.”
So far the game has only been announced for PC but “who knows what the future holds?” remarks Bleszinski.
