LawBreakers Is Back (Unofficially) And The First Playtest Is This Weekend

LawBreakers is back?!

The hero arena shooter, which was once led by Gears of War director Cliff Bleszinski, is seeing an apparent resurgence. A fan group known as RELB — led by Reddit user redcommander — has taken it upon themselves to unofficially revive the game. This, of course, does not involve either BossKey Productions or Nexon, the original developers and publishers.

Cliff seems to be pretty happy about the situation after he teased a possible return himself back in May of last year.

Somehow LawBreakers is coming back, see below!!!

Funny how Lawbreakers is rising from the ashes.

Kinda like...a Fenix.

In fact, the project is holding its first public playtest this weekend. LawBreakers is (unofficially) playable through "fake" servers that the game’s client utilizes, allowing player access. The team does however caution participants not to expect the same level of updates and support as before.

LawBreakers originally launched in 2017 for PC and consoles, yet was shut down by September 2018.
