'LawBreakers' Showing Off At PAX East, Closed Beta Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on March 6, 2017 @ 11:57 a.m. PST

LawBreakers is a competitive FPS featuring team-based action from any angle. Its characters and spaces manipulate gravity to create a dynamic style of gameplay that rewards skill – not streaks.

Set in a futuristic rebuilt America, players will choose whether to kill for the nobility of the “Law,” or go out for blood as a “Breaker,” as they take part in the conflict raging across iconic locations including the boiling oceans off the Santa Monica coastline, to a gravity ravaged Grand Canyon and nearly unrecognizable Mount Rushmore.

After a huge cataclysmic event known as ‘The Shattering’ changed gravity forever. Society has recovered in a manner of speaking

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.

This weekend, attendees of PAX East will get a sneak peek of new and updated content in hands-on sessions of LawBreakers, in booth #13055 at the Boston Convention Center.

The following weekend, the Beta phase begins, featuring new content changes based on player feedback from the 2016 alpha, including the debut of multiple highly anticipated roles that offer a greater variety of play-styles, improved game balance, additional maps and much more. Players can sign up now for the chance to be invited to the first closed beta test, running on Steam next week from Thursday, March 16 – Sunday, March 19.

This week during PAX East, anyone who plays LawBreakers will receive an official Pinny (PAX’s series of trading pins for attendees and fans to collect) featuring a new character, as well as a limited edition t-shirt with one of three PAX-exclusive designs*. In addition, Cliff and a panel of developers from Boss Key will share behind-the-scenes insights on the topic of “Action After Alpha: LawBreakers’ Road to Beta” at 9 p.m. EST, Friday, March 10 in the Bumblebee Theatre.
