Cliff “CliffyB” Bleszinski is the man who brought us chainsaw bayonets in Gears of War. Now he’s back with a multiplayer-only fragfest called Lawbreakers.

Coming soon from publisher Nexon, Bleszinski’s PC game is a fast-moving sci-fi first-person shooter with factions: the Law and the Breakers (anti-heroes). The title features a bunch of different characters who have a lot of abilities, and they all offset each other in some way.
