Boss Key Productions, the studio headed by Cliff Blenzinski of Gears Of War fame, is shutting down. A statement by Blenzinski himself on Twitter has announced this.
The developers behind arena FPS LawBreakers has been struggling to find an audience over the few years. The recent announcement of Radical Heights, a battle royale game attempting to chase the genre’s popularity, also struggled after its “X-Treme Early Access” launch despite a strong early reception.
“LawBreakers was a great game that unfortunately failed to gain traction, ” said Blenzinski in his statement. “And, in a last ditch attempt we scrambled to do our take on the huge battle royale genre with Radical Heights which was well received.”
“However, it was too little too late.”
Blenzinski came out of retirement to form Boss Key Productions. And with the closure of Boss Key, he will now spend most of his time with his family again.
We wish best of luck to those affected by the closure.
