Cliff Bleszinski, veteran developer (Gears of War) and designer of now-offline arena shooter LawBreakers, has made recent statements on Twitter regarding the game. Bleszinski revealed that the game’s IP is currently in the hands of Nexon, LawBreakers’ original publisher. He also tweeted at the studio’s CEO, Owen Mahoney, requesting him to “slide into [his] DMs” to talk about a “resurrection” for it.

Days ago, Bleszinski originally tweeted out that Nexon owned rights to LawBreakers, with his request to Mahoney also found in the same tweet:

Well, turns out Nexon does own the rights to LawBreakers. @owenmahoney how about sliding into my DMs so we can talk about a resurrection?

Interestingly enough, while Bleszinski seems to want to revive LawBreakers, he isn’t as keen on running it himself. In a reply thread to the original tweet, Bleszinski revealed that he was “kinda over the whole making games thing for a while,” and that he would rather help out on the potential revival as a consultant.

I'm over being CEO and lead designer. Shiz is exhausting.

But if a 3rd party wants to resurrect it with Nexon I'm down for consulting.

While LawBreakers was well-received by critics and reviewers during the game’s release, the shooter failed to sustain a large enough player base to continue live services, with the game’s PC player count dropping below 500 less than one month after its launch. LawBreakers’ game servers shut down one year later in September 2018, with one of the game’s developers claiming that arena-style shooters were not “widely accepted” when the game came out.
