LawBreakers PC System Requirements Revealed

Upcoming video game LawBreakers was developed by Boss Key Productions and published by Nexon. It is expected to be released this year for Microsoft Windows, and what makes it particularly interesting is the fact that it is based on Unreal Engine 4. Up until now, many of us believed that this particular title would be free-to-play upon release, but during the recent GDC 2016 event, Cliff Bleszinski has decided to clarify these rumours, or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that he squashed them. The upcoming arena shooter will not be free-to-play after all, which might actually turn out to be a good thing.

Apart from this important announcement, the developers have also revealed the game’s PC requirements as well as a trio of new screenshots. As far as the requirements are concerned, it looks like the minimum specs should be based on a rather modest Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 and a Nvidia GeForce 460, while the recommended requirements are considerably more demanding: an Intel Core i7 -4790 and a GTX 970. Not sure exactly why there’s such a huge gap between the minimum and the recommended specs, but it probably has something to do with the game supporting DirectX 12. Below you will find a complete list of LawBreakers’ requirements and main features.

• A Cast Of Killers: Revel in unparalleled vertical violence by mastering the skills of an array of diverse anti-heroes, ranging from Cronos, a murderer who survived electrocution on death row to Axel, a federal agent with a tattered past fighting for justice. Whether you kill for the nobility of the “Law,” or are out for blood as a “Breaker,” these symmetrical roles satisfy any appetite in an arena where the most skilled player and team will rise.

• Threats From Every Angle: Experience visceral gameplay that is a cut above the competitive FPS genre; with variable gravity effects, unique role based movement systems and gravity manipulating abilities, making combat truly three dimensional. Become a gravity surfing killer and annihilate your enemies with grappling blades, reverse blind firing, time dilation, jetpacks and much more.

• Modes that Matter: Fight to the death in intense game modes that elevate the Arena Shooter genre to all new levels. LawBreakers’ signature brand of gravity induced chaos combined with innovative takes on multiplayer game modes offers a truly unique and highly competitive experience.

• A World Reimagined: Experience a futuristic America, years after a global seismic event known as “The Shattering” forever changed the landscape and even gravity itself. Become immersed into a raging conflict between Law and Breakers across iconic locations including the boiling oceans of Santa Monica, a gravity ravaged Grand Canyon and nearly unrecognizable Mount Rushmore.
