Ask many who played, LawBreakers was a game that was simply released at the wrong time. Released in August 2017, LawBreakers was a team-based first-person shooter similar to that of competing overwatch.
Despite being generally well-received at launch, the game saw poor adaption and dwindling numbers month over month. It also launched as PlayStation 4 console exclusive, leaving Xbox One owners out to dry. This ultimately saw developer Boss Key Productions, led by founder Cliff Bleszinski, shutting down the game and its servers just a year after its release.
Now defunct for nearly five years, Bleszinski is teasing something online regarding the game’s future.
“Just got a text from my lawyer about…LawBreakers,” he said. “Stay tuned.”
The lawyer comment is certainly an interesting one due to the recent rumors regarding a possible revival of the franchise. With Boss Key Studios no longer around after its dissolution in 2018, it’s believed that only publisher Nexon could greenlight a comeback.
Without knowing the rest of the context, it would appear based on his replies to fans on Twitter that we could know something sooner rather than later about the franchise.
