De gravity based first person shooter LawBreakers is nu middels een closed beta te spelen. Na veel feedback te hebben gehad op de alpha heeft Boss Key Productions er een flinke patch tegen aangegooid.

Bij de LawBreakers draait het allemaal om de zwaartekracht en het leven zuur maken van de vijand. De closed beta is het antwoord op de alpha die in 2016 heeft plaats gevonden. Mocht je helaas niet meedoen met de huidige beta, geen probleem! Je kunt nog steeds inschrijven, om alsnog mee te doen met een volgende beta.

Boss Key Productions de makers van LawBreakers hebben goed geluisterd naar de feedback van de alpha testers. Middels een uitgebreide patch note kan men lezen wat er allemaal is aangepast;
