LawBreakers is now free-to-play on PC

4.3
Remember LawBreakers? It was the game that was supposed to be Boss Key Productions' ticket to the big leagues. Alas, it was not meant to be. Studio founder Cliff Bleszinski announced just last month that the company has shut down. Today, as we were all busy with E3 2018, the game's Steam page showed that the game has gone free-to-play, despite the developer's insistence that it won't happen. To be fair, that was all before Radical Heights.

According to the LawBreaker's official Steam page, the game is now free-to-play. Boss Key Productions stated earlier in April 2018 that moving the game to a free-to-play business model would "take publishing planning and resources." The developer still had lofty plans for a new game back then, which turned out to be Radical Heights.

In that very same month, Boss Key Productions officially announced Radical Heights, which aimed to cash in on the battle royale phenomenon and crazy money enjoyed by other games like PUBG and Fortnite. It was a little bit too late, as the following month Cliff Bleszinski revealed that the studio is "effectively no more."


In a statement posted on Twitter, Bleszinski said: "LawBreakers was a great game that unfortunately failed to gain traction, and in a last-ditch attempt we scrambled to do our take on the huge battle royale genre with Radical Heights which was received well, however it was too little too late."

Wasn't this the game where the Beta was packed of players as it was meant to be F2P then they stuck a $50 price tag on it?

Looking at the gameplay from above and other YouTube videos

It seems like an overwatch crossed with dishonoured almost.

It really is gutting that it didn't take off or gain much traction, the graphics look real clean and the engine looks like it runs smoothly

I remember their statement a while ago when they claimed Fortnite robbed them of the spotlight which may be true but you can't blame another game simply because it's more attractive
