At GDC 2016, Cliff Bleszinski announced that LawBreakers won’t be a free-to-play title. LawBreakers is a new arena shooter powered by Unreal Engine 4 and Boss Key Productions revealed today some new screenshots, as well as the game’s PC requirements.
According to the official PC system requirements, PC gamers will need at least a dual-core CPU with 4GB of RAM and an Nvidia 460. The game will support DirectX 12 and according to Boss Key Productions, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti should be able to provide a 144hz experience.
LawBreakers is coming to the PC this Summer.
Here are its key features:
- A Cast Of Killers: Revel in unparalleled vertical violence by mastering the skills of an array of diverse anti-heroes, ranging from Cronos, a murderer who survived electrocution on death row to Axel, a federal agent with a tattered past fighting for justice. Whether you kill for the nobility of the “Law,” or are out for blood as a “Breaker,” these symmetrical roles satisfy any appetite in an arena where the most skilled player and team will rise.
- Threats From Every Angle: Experience visceral gameplay that is a cut above the competitive FPS genre; with variable gravity effects, unique role based movement systems and gravity manipulating abilities, making combat truly three dimensional. Become a gravity surfing killer and annihilate your enemies with grappling blades, reverse blind firing, time dilation, jetpacks and much more.
- Modes that Matter: Fight to the death in intense game modes that elevate the Arena Shooter genre to all new levels. LawBreakers’ signature brand of gravity induced chaos combined with innovative takes on multiplayer game modes offers a truly unique and highly competitive experience.
- A World Reimagined: Experience a futuristic America, years after a global seismic event known as “The Shattering” forever changed the landscape and even gravity itself. Become immersed into a raging conflict between Law and Breakers across iconic locations including the boiling oceans of Santa Monica, a gravity ravaged Grand Canyon and nearly unrecognizable Mount Rushmore.

Why 90 fps? Weird.
I am guessing, for VR.
Are they out of ideas? Common, Unreal Tournament with low gravity and super-duper gadgets??
Give me a new Half-life or a new Bioshock game instead. Give us something new that actually gives chills and immersion. Not this particle chaos! God am so tired of shooters.
“Are they out of ideas? ”
“Give me a new Half-life or a new Bioshock game instead.”
???????
Yeah, those games worked well and we never got enough of them. But good publishers know when enough is enough. Bad publishers like Ubisoft, just pull out the tracing chart and make more assassin creed games like farcry and division. Just my two cents.
You put question marks because you didn’t get my point. I didn’t literally mean that a new HL or Bioshock game would bring something new and unique to the table.
What I actually meant was; give us something new and unique in a way that Half-life and Bioshock did when they came. Don’t give us multiplayer focused, online only, or any of the repetitive cr*p were getting these days.

Let me fix your comment for you son:
durka durka –> Oscar – 8 hours ago
Oh am sorry for misunderstanding you sir, I should learn to look and think twice before jumping to quick of conclusions, I should also learn to read between the lines better. I shouldn’t have been so quick to misjudge you. Your logic is crystal clear and I agree with you 100%.
Oh hey no problem durka. I’ve should have been more clear in my initial post, given that people on this board too easily takes others for fools and think they lack the ability of logical reasoning.
Hugs & kisses <3

Exactly my thoughts, but Durka and 9 others didn’t really get my point. They though I meant HL and Bioshock were “new ideas” If sequels of these were released today.
What I actually meant was, give us something new and amazing, like what Half-life and Bioshock brought us back in the days.
Yeah I guess it’s hard for the people behind the scenes to come with some new stuff. Their bosses reel in all the cash and they get buried real fast. But yeah, bring us back IP’s like those!
You want Cliff to do something he doesn’t know how?
We’re getting a System Shock 3, which is even better! Not from Cliff, but still.
UE4 loves that Nvidia D.
But DX12 don’t 😀
lol Yup. Need that Async compute up in hur.
It looks like it should be free.
Agreed. IMO, no competitive MP FPS should be $60. Perhaps $15 like Counter Strike but absolutely not full price.
Where does it say this is full price…
Yeah, it won’t be F2P, it will be full price, plus microtransactions.
LOL I LIKE THIS ahahah
They confirmed it won’t be full-price. It will however most likely have some sort of in-app purchases.
As long as the micro-transactions are purely cosmetic, I won’t mind. Games like Killing Floor got supported for years because DLC was able to fund all that post-release content. Splitting the community by charging for things like maps, weapons & characters would be a horrible way to go.
Publisher: Nexon
Where the hell are the AMD requirements?
I have only the gpu from the recomend requirments. What does this mean for perfomance? 1080P max settings 60 fps or 14440p DSR 60 fps?
From the look of it 970 (90 fps 1080p)(gtx 980ti 120+fps 1440p)
But who plays at 90 fps on 1080p? My monitor is 21,5” 1080p 60 hz IPS. Maybe it needs 970 for VR 90 fps?
That’s beyond my understanding 😀
I can clearly see CA showing it’s ugly head on the sides :/
As no one wants that crap it must be a toggle for shutting it off.
Not that I care, not my kind of game, just saying!
HAHAH Look at Cliff Bleszinski back-peddling
To a positive decision, F2P would ruin the game.
He realised that [Full price + microtransaction] is the new F2P
and makes more money
You still find ways to complain even when developers do a positive decision.
F2P always compromises game design and quality.
He’s probably wanting to use the Overwatch model.
F*ck Cliffy B
DX 12 doesn’t even begin to matter to me as a guy who isn’t going to be using Windows 10, I’d rather see why they aren’t sporting Vulkan support.
It’s probably the length of time it’s been in Development since DX12 has a head start.
Just thinking about a fast-paced FPS in VR is giving me a nice nausea-headache combo…….
This is a gret decision, as long as it means no microtransactions at all.
Will it have a capmgain or will it be multiplayer batlles only?
It will flop like Titanfall and they know it, they will charge for it cause if it was free to play they would make no money.
How can you tell its a Nvidia Sponsored title?
wow whats with the 16 gb of ram is that going to be the new norm soon?
Its 2016, If you don’t have 16GB of RAM by now then you had better take your toaster out to the trash.
Looked into it since i wasn’t aware of that game. Now i am aware but i still don’t care :(.
Nice bait and switch. I’m guessing he put a price tag on it after all, so he could blame pirates when it’s dead on arrival 😉
Also, dat nvidia bias.
overwatch, paragon, lawbreakers, battleborn.. i’m not sure if they are going to flop. many MOBAs clone are dying except the undefeatable big ones. LOL, Dota2, Smite. when are they going to learn? overwatch probably won’t as blizzard is too huge to flop. they have too huge fanbase.
It’s the WoW effect. LOL, Dota2 and Smite have set the standard for MOBAs and have locked in a lot of fans into them. Newer games trying to get in will always be considered clones and have such a hard time to prove themselves to be considered as worthy competitions. No amount new innovative gameplay or features from newer games can easily dislodge those fans who have invested thousands of hours on the Big 3.
Not to mention that the latest challengers-overwatch, paragon, lawbreakers and battleborn-are all of the same genre(FPS/Shooters). Its hard enough to set a firm foothold in MOBA dominated by the Big 3, now they have to fight for whatever potential fans left in such a small time frame from their nearest competitors.
