LawBreakers Latest News
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.
We spent some time with LawBreakers at PAX East 2016 and were impressed by the gameplay. You can read our full impressions here.
LawBreakers Release Date
No release date has been set for LawBreakers at the moment, although the game will launch its alpha test sometime in 2016. You sign up on the game's official page now.
The game 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!
LawBreakers Trailer
A new trailer has arrived for LawBreakers, and it's a bit more insane than anything we've seen from the game thus far:
The video below is a compilation of various bits of gameplay footage from around the web, and while the edits are a bit jarring, it gives an idea of what Lawbreakers handles like. It all looks perfectly solid, though there's a bit less flying around than we'd expected from some of the pre-announcement descriptions. Maybe that's more of a feature in other maps.
Here is your first real look at the gameplay:
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.
