In recent years, we've seen many multiplayer games that, despite their good ideas, had to shut down their servers because they couldn't build a large community around them. LawBreakers It was one of the many games that fell halfway, but it seems that its story is not over yet.
The Cliff Bleszinski-led FPS debuted in 2017. Despite its good reception, it got off to a slow start and its player count was very low. Unfortunately, he was unable to get back on his feet and in 2018, just a year after its release, he closed his servers forever. That failure was followed by the slip of Radical Heights and the definitive end of the Boss Key Productions studio.
It seemed that everything was said for the misunderstood multiplayer shooter, but now there is a light of hope for its small and faithful community.
LawBreakers could be revived thanks to a project that has the blessing of Cliff Bleszinski
What happens is that a group of passionate fans is not willing to leave this title forgotten and launched an unofficial project that aims to revive it in PC. Those responsible announced this initiative for the first time in 2022, and it was not until April of this year that an important milestone was reached.
“This is a project that aims to recover the game LawBreakers; It is done by creating “fake” servers that are used by the original game client. You can join by downloading the launcher, patching the title and playing as usual,” reads the initiative's Discord.
The first public test of this unofficial project took place this weekend, allowing fans to reminisce about old times and play games in the forgotten multiplayer FPS. Even content creators who participated in the test They streamed the game on Twitch. Another session is expected to take place on April 14th.
Now, what does the director think? Cliff Bleszinski? Are you upset that fans are playing your title unofficially? Not at all. In fact, he reacted pleasantly surprised on social media and urged the community to join this weekend's test sessions.
Let us remember that CliffyB expressed in 2023 his desire to revive LawBreakers; However, shortly after he revealed that the franchise is in the hands of Nexon, so there is a legal issue that prevents the game from officially returning. Will it ever happen? It's hard to say, but in the meantime fans will do everything they can to keep the flame burning.
