The
teaser countdown from Boss Key
Productions now points to
this website, revealing
LawBreakers, the free-to-play first-person shooter in the works at this new studio from former Epic design
director Cliff Bleszinski. This includes an
official LawBreakers
announce trailer describing your role in a militant police force set to
protect a gravity-challenged post-apocalyptic utopia that sprang up after "clandestine government
testing" broke the moon ("the shattering" that was part of the tease). However
there is
a note that they've added the ability to register on their forums as LAW,
BREAKERS, or NEUTRAL, and
the announcement makes it clear you can also play as a criminal. Here's
first word on the game codenamed Project Bluestreak:
LawBreakers is a competitive team-based FPS set in an alternate future in which
the world has been divided into two factions following a huge cataclysmic event
known as ‘The Shattering’ that changed gravity forever. Afterward, the world
recovered and ushered in a new age technological advancements providing gravity
manipulation and supplement use that grants near-superhuman abilities. Now, the
new technology rages and two forces fight for control; a peacekeeping
organization charged with upholding the law, and a highly-organized crime
syndicate bent on breaking it. Players will be asked to choose a side – it’s LAW
versus BREAKERS.
