LawBreakers Is Back (Unofficially) And The First Playtest Is This Weekend
The hero arena shooter, headed by the director for Gears of War, shut down back in 2018.
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.

I can't help but think you have a good chance to make the leaderboards even if you've never played before.
The test will offer a look at the upcoming season, raids, and more.
Honestly, I didn't cover it yesterday because I thought it was a joke.
I've been covering this stuff for 15 years now and I still think about each of these from time to time.
