Boss Key halts active LawBreakers development to focus on new project

Publisher Nexon and developer Boss Key Productions’s high-jumping low-gravity team shooter LawBreakers has hit a stopping point. The studio has been open about how the game hasn’t met its expectations since its launch on PC and PlayStation 4 in August. It will continue to support the current version, but it’s moving on to developing a new project that has yet to be announced.

After launch, the studio added new features to LawBreakers, including a team deathmatch mode, called Skirmish, and new map in September. However, Boss Key cofounder and CEO Cliff Bleszinski points to the late addition of Skirmish as a possible reason why the game has failed to attract a broader audience.
