Boss Key Productions (Lawbreakers, Radical Heights) co-founder Cliff Bleszinski has been sharing some unfinished game ideas on Twitter today.
We don't normally get to see unrealised game pitches, but with Boss Key now out of business, I guess there was no point sitting on these any longer.
If you ask Boss Key Productions, LawBreakers isn't dead yet. Talk to the game's most dedicated players, and some will tell you the online shooter is ready for the big dirt nap. And, unlikely as it may be, some are clinging to hope that it will one day rise from its ashes.
Lawbreakers developer Boss Key Productions released Radical Heights today as a free-to-play early access game on Steam. The "x-treme early access" battle royale game comes too late to cash in on the genre's popularity. While it might have a few good ideas, it is one messy game.
Just days after publishing a blog post announcing a shift away from its struggling first-person shooter LawBreakers, Cliff Bleszinski's studio Boss Key Productions has announced a new Battle Royale-style game called Radical Heights.
Despite constant attention from developer Boss Key Productions, LawBreakers continues to struggle with player counts. Recently, CEO and designer Cliff Bleszinski admitted it might take extreme measures to keep the title afloat, including a potential switch to a free-to-play model.
Boss Key Productions, headed by former Epic designer Cliff Bleszinski, has no plans to abandon LawBreakers any time soon. The developer's entry into the fast-growing collection of shooters aimed at the esports market had a solid launch, but despite a well-crafted product, has failed to sustain a healthy playerbase. Speaking with GameSpot, Bleszinski admitted that numbers could be better and is now embracing a slow-burn approach to build things up.
If you can get past the obnoxious packaging, Lawbreakers is surprisingly good fun.
Boss Key Productions' Lawbreakers launched on PlayStation 4 and PC this week. Mike Fahey and Patricia Hernandez got together to discuss their first few hours in Cliff Bleszinski's fast-paced take on the hero shooter.
Lawbreakers will officially launch on PlayStation 4 and PC August 8. Speaking during the PC Gaming Show at E3, Boss Key Productions' Cliff Bleszinski said the price will be $US29.99 ($40), "None of that $US60 ($80) multiplayer-only bullshit."
Video: Cliff Bleszinski and the team at Boss Key Productions are pulling out all the stop for Lawbreakers, a frantic first person shooter that's currently in closed alpha. What's it all about? I played a match and caused some mayhem. It turns out that breaking the law includes a ton of zero gravity action and sweet sword kills. And grappling hooks! Join me for the chaos in this video!
After revealing the basics about Lawbreakers earlier this week, the Gears of War designer and his team have lifted the lid on precisely what the game is all about.
We'll find out precisely what it is in two days, but at least we know what it's not.
It's been a long time coming, but Cliff Bleszinski has finally taken the lid off his next game and the first project he's embarking on since he left Epic Games two years ago. It's code-named "Blue Streak", and he describes it as a free-to-play sci-fi arena shooter for the PC.
