Lawbreakers came out last year and sadly the game did not perform as well as developer Boss Key Productions hoped it would. Boss Key Productions have now given out a statement about Lawbreaker’s performance and sadly it looks like the future of the game is looking very grim at the moment.
Boss Key Productions posted an announcement on its official website and things are not looking good for the future of Lawbreakers. It does not even sound like going free to play with the game os going to help out either.
They posted: “The fact is LawBreakers failed to find enough of an audience to generate the funds necessary to keep it sustained in the manner we had originally planned for and anticipated. And while a pivot to free-to-play may seem like easiest change to make, a change of this magnitude takes publishing planning and resources to do it.
The team here has worked hard on this game over the past three and a half years and our studio is determined to give this game the second life it deserves. However, between now and then, we cannot sit idle. We will continue to support the game in its current state, but we also need to focus on other projects with fresh creative leaders. We have been working on something new and we can’t wait to share more about it! It’s a passion project that we’re in complete control of.”
From the sounds of things, the future of Lawbreakers might be short because Boss Key Productions wants to move on and make another new game. Hopefully the new game that gets revealed has a much longer lifespan than Lawbreakers because that game failed to attract an audience ever since it came out last August.
