Cliff Blezinski, the face behind Gears Of War has moved on to make his own indie outfit Boss Key Productions. Their first game, LawBreakers will be out soon.
The class-based FPS marries the new hotness that is MOBA-like abilities for characters and the gunplay from arena shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament. But this is no Overwatch clone- a lot of the characters here require you to have good aim, there’s low-gravity areas in the map that you can float around and also an ability to shoot backwards- not only to thwart anyone on your tail, but a means to propel yourself in low gravity.
There’s some pretty neat ideas and if you’re curious the game and missed out on the open beta last month, there will be another open beta this weekend. You can preload it on Steam. The beta is also available on PS4 but so far it’s not available in Asia- so you need an account of different region for this.
LawBreakers will be released on August 9 for the PS4 and PC at half the price of the usual AAA game- it’s available for RM99 on Steam.
