Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski revealed his new game yesterday, the free-to-play shooter LawBreakers. This is what the previously teased Project Bluestreak ultimately evolved into.
The announcement trailer is pretty lore-heavy, and sets up a post-apocalyptic struggle between peacekeeper soldiers and criminal gangs. Here’s the plot breakdown from developer Boss Key:
”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.”
There will be a full gameplay presentation of the game this Friday, September 28. The final product will be free-to-play, and published by Korean firm Nexon. LawBreakers is expected to release in 2016.
