Cliff Bleszinki's new game is a shooter called LawBreakers. Here are more details!
Cliff Bleszinski's next project, LawBreakers, is no longer free-to-play, announced the developer at GDC 2016. His studio, Boss Key Productions, was quick to add after the presentation that the game won't cost $60, though.
The multiplayer first-person shooter will drop on Steam as a timed exclusive. No further details were shared about the game's appearance on consoles or other PC stores.
LawBreakers is also going through a substantial art redesign, with the focus on giving the game a more mature feel. The game was originally unveiled as a colorful shooter akin to Blizzard's Overwatch.
"We decided to take a step back and explore how we could dial up the maturity in LawBreakers, going back to our original vision," Bleszinski says. "The new look and feel embraces the innovative and vertical nature of our game elevated by violence, intensity and competition."
Here are some screenshots of the new look:
LawBreakers is set in a world where the moon has been damaged and the laws of gravity have been broken. No release date has been set yet. More on LawBreakers as we learn it!
Original Story 08.26.15:
Fans have been waiting for Cliff Bleszinski's new game, formerly known as Project Bluestreak, for quite a while. We learned a few more details about the first-person shooter today. Bleszinski revealed in a live stream that the game is officially called LawBreakers.
The game is set years after a cataclysmic event known as The Shattering, which caused the destabilization of gravity on Earth. The story picks up after civilization has rebuilt itself and learned to cope with the new laws of physics born out of the catastrophe.
Here is the announcement trailer:
Since gravity is completely messed up to our standards, jet packs, gravity fields, grappling hooks, and more will play a huge role in the shooter. Bleszinksi stressed, "You won't want to be on the ground."
The title comes from the two factions that will fight each other in the game. On one side are the Breakers, a group of criminals who traffic narcotics, and it's up to the Law, a combination of all the law agencies on Earth, to stop them.
There isn't a release date for LawBreakers, but we don't expect this one in 2015. The game will be free-to-play and will release on PC.
