'Radical Heights' And 'Lawbreakers' Developer Boss Key Productions Shuts Down

by Rainier on May 14, 2018 @ 11:39 a.m. PDT

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.

In April LawBreakers developer Boss Key Productions announced it was closing down Lawbreakers and move on to a new project, which was revealed a few days later and already available on Steam Early Access However that title was not met with enough success either, so BKP co-founder Cliff Blezinski now has decided to call it quits and shut it all down.

 As of today, Boss Key Productions is effectively no more.

Four years ago I set out to make a world class video game studio and I hired some of the best talent in the videogame industry. they worked tirelessly to produce quality products and, while we had put ups and downs, I'd like to think we had fun doing it. Lawbreakers was a great game but unfortunately failed to gain traction, and, in a last ditch attempt we scrambled to do uor take on the huge battle royale genre with Radical Heights which was well received, however, it was too little too late.

As for myself, I'm going to take some time off and reflect. I need to focus on myself and family as well as my Aussie, Teddy, who is slowly fading from us. Videogames will forever be part of who i am and i hope to make something new again someday, however, I need to withdraw and take this time.

To those of you who have supported myself and the studio these last few years, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heard and everybody who came to work for me.

Please note that servers for Radical Heights will remain up for the near future.

Thanks again,

Cliff
