Bring your A-game and compete on PS4™ and PC,
starting at just $29.99
PlayStation®4 gamers will be able to beat gravity into
submission and compete in gravity-defying competition in
LawBreakers, the new multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) from
renowned game designer Cliff Bleszinski and Boss Key
Productions.
LawBreakers will be enhanced for PS4™Pro and promises to
challenge even the best players to bring their skills, get off the
ground and deliver death from every angle as they experience
thrilling fast-paced, omni-directional gunplay with innovative
movement systems and combat abilities.
From the mind of Bleszinski, LawBreakers is set in a brand new
futuristic world where the laws of gravity have been turned upside
down. A war between the Law and the Breakers rages across a variety
of iconic locations such as the boiling oceans of the Santa Monica
coastline to the gravity-ravaged Grand Canyon and beyond.
Today Nexon also revealed its business model for the game which
sees the base game starting at just $29.99. In addition, the
company confirmed that there will be no season pass-style program
and that all future content updates will be free. Also, there are
no “pay-to-win” mechanics in the game, just a robust offering of
cosmetics for players to earn via the game’s Stash-Box system.
“With LawBreakers, we wanted to honor the skill-based FPS games
of yesteryear, all while embracing the new and pushing the genre in
our own unique way,” said Bleszinski. “We found that messing with
gravity, and having it mess with the player, adds a dynamic
vertical element that will challenge players of all skill levels to
go above their limits. Add in a variety of character role
play-styles that go beyond the basic ‘tank, sniper and medic,’ a
price point that we feel is fair to the player and the fact that
it’s just damn fun to play - we’re confident LawBreakers will
be one of the best valued and most challenging FPS games on PC or
console.”
"We're thrilled to be partnering with Cliff and his team to
bring such a unique and challenging combat experience to PS4,” said
Owen Mahoney, President and CEO, NEXON Co., Ltd. “This marks a
major milestone for Nexon as we launch onto a home videogame
console for the first time in the company's history."
The PS4™ version of LawBreakers will make its debut at the
Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, June 13-15, and
attendees will be among the first to experience its unique brand of
gravity-defying combat. Qualified media and influencers are
encouraged to book appointments to play the game on PS4™ and PC
game as space will be limited. Please contact
nexonamerica@wonacottpr.com for scheduling.
LawBreakers (rated M) will now launch simultaneously on
PlayStation®4 Pro and on Steam later this year, but no release date
has been announced at this time.
