LawBreakers Is Headed To PlayStation 4 Later This Year, Will Cost $29.99
It seems that Boss Key Productions' gravity-defying competitive FPS won't be exclusive to PC after all. Cliff Bleszinski announced today via the PlayStation Blog that the game will also be launching on PlayStation 4 later this year. Much like the PC version, the PlayStation 4 version will only be available digitally.
While very few new details have been unveiled as a part of this announcement, we finally have the single detail that everyone has been waiting for; Bleszinski announced that LawBreakers will cost $29.99. Before now, the company was only willing to say that it would cost "less than $60," so it's nice to finally know that it will cost significantly less than $60, instead of costing around $40 or $50. That $29.99 box fee will also include all future content, as there will be no DLC.
The exact quote regarding the price is as follows.
It’s important to know that something that’s important for the studio and me is to create a game with no season passes and no "pay-to-win" mechanics at a price that is what we feel is fair to players. It will be $29.99. We don’t want to fragment our playbase with silo’d season pass BS, nor do we want to pollute matchmaking with “pay-to-win” incentives. We want to create a game ecosystem that’s all about highly skilled players competing on even playing fields, and a landscape for average players to aspire to become better.
On the subject of a release date, we will apparently have "more details [...] soon."
Now that the price has been announced, do you think that you will be buying LawBreakers? I previously said that I thought that $29.99 was the most I would be willing to pay for the game, so, given that that is in fact the price, I will likely end up buying the game when it is released.
