Cliff Bleszinski’s Lawbreakers goes into closed beta next week

When Cliff Bleszinski retired from Epic Games, it was a dark day. We wondered, who will give us the next big game mechanic after cover-based shooting? Who will invent the next ridiculous video game weapon to overtake Gears of War‘s Lancer?

Bleszinski announced his return with his new company, Boss Key Productions, a few years ago. With Lawbreakers just around the corner, we could be looking at the next big multiplayer shooter.

But the world Bleszinski is entering is a shooter-heavy one these days, with games like Overwatch and Battlefield 1 occupying various segments of the market and pulling in huge numbers. It’s been a long time since CliffyB put a fresh game in our hands, and he doesn’t have the Epic name to back him this time. Even if he can deliver, the world might not be paying attention. This closed beta could be a huge source of buzz if the game is ready for prime time, and I’m eager to see how people respond to it.
