Cliff Bleszinski used GDC today to announce that Lawbreakers would lose its planned free-to-play model.
“As the game continued to take shape, we realized free-to-play wasn’t the right fit for what we’re building,” Bleszinski said. “LawBreakers is a competitive game at heart and that means balance is a big priority to me, my team, and our community. Using a digital premium model helps ensure an even playing field by giving fans access to every available role without any barriers.”
Bleszinski stressed that the game will not have a traditional $60 USD price point due to the change, though pricing wasn’t detailed further.
The game has also received a facelift; it sports a new logo (above) alongside a “new tone and attitude”.
“Being constantly compared to the current slew of colorful shooters on the market made us realize we needed to stand out from the crowd,” Bleszinski said. “We decided to take a step back and explore how we could dial up the maturity in LawBreakers, going back to our original vision. The new look and feel embraces the innovative and vertical nature of our game elevated by violence, intensity and competition.”
Moreover, Lawbreakers will be available exclusively on the Steam platform at launch. Gamers can add the title to their Wishlist here.
