LawBreakers, a game being developed by Boss Key Productions, is looking fantastic. This high speed, gravity defying first person shooter is bringing something interesting to the genre. The game offers four classes, and each one has their own methods of murder and movement.
The first class is the Titan. This class is the tank, with high health and slower movement. The Titan receives the hammerhead rocket launcher, the crisper lightning canon, and a neutron mine. The hammerhead has an alt fire that prematurely detonates the rocket. The crisper lightning canon fires lightning that arcs from enemy to enemy. The neutron mine slows down enemies with increased gravity. The movement ability of the Titan is pulverize which leaps forward and does AoE damage upon landing. The Titan’s ult is berserk, which increases max health and allows the Titan to fire lightning from their hands.
The next class is the Vanguard. This class is about fast movement and totes the hydra tri-core cannon, pulsar, and meteor shells. The hydra is a gatling gun that increases in accuracy as it is fired. Pulsar is a super heated energy blast fired from the Vanguard’s gauntlet. Meteor shells is a thrown cluster grenade splits in mid air then rains explosions. The movement ability of the Vanguard is afterburners. When activated the flight suit provides super speed until it runs out of fuel. The ultimate ability is starfall. This ability propels the Vanguard down then does damage and lifts enemies with a zero-g field upon impact, allowing the Vanguard to take them out with their air superiority.
After the Vanguard we have the Assassin. The role of this class is in the name. Get in, kill, then get out. The kit for this class is arc blades, the romerus shotgun, and the flux blast. The arc blades are a pair of swords that double as grappling hooks when using their alt fire. The romerus shotgun is an energy shotty that can unload a super shot when overcharged. The flux blast is a gravity grenade that launches enemies away and deflects projectiles. The assassin movement ability is dash which pretty much speaks for itself. When activated the character moves faster, allowing them to dodge easily. The ult is frenzy. When activated the Assassin does a spin attack with their blades which is then followed by the ability to see enemies through walls. Each kill done while frenzied regenerates health.
The last class is the Enforcer. The enforcer is LawBreaker’s Soldier 76, the generic shooter character that we all know and love. This class has the aerator assault rifle, the badger pistol, and the electromag charge. The aerator assault rifle is just a stable assault rife, and the badger pistol is an electroshock pistol. The electromag charge is a grenade that cancels enemy abilities and also prevents the activation of skills for anyone caught in it’s blast. The movement ability of the Enforcer is distortion field which provides a movement, firing, and reload speed boost to the Enforcer and any allies around them. The ult of the Enforcer is the bloodhound rockets. When used, a shoulder mounted rocket launcher fires a barrage of rockets that track and kill any enemies that were locked on to.
As you can see, the classes of LawBreakers are very diverse. Each one offers a unique play style that is built around the usual character classes one can expect in these types of games. There is also a focus on movement, and each character has their own methods of doing so. This is Boss Key Productions’s first game, but it looks promising.

Battle Pass for Crash Team Rumble is not necessary to unlock new characters; the upcoming closed beta
The competitive multiplayer spinoff of Crash Team Rumble, which will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will debut on June 20. A closed beta for the game will be held in the coming weeks, and the good news that character unlocks won’t be dependent on Battle Pass progress was just revealed.
Publisher Activision made its intentions very clear in a lengthy blog post, writing, “New heroes and powers will be unlocked through in-game challenges rather than being connected to the Battle Pass because we want every player to have a balanced experience while enjoying the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer.” “For those who wish to get a WUMP on the season’s newest looks, Battle Passes will solely reward cosmetic goods; however, cosmetics will still be earnable through participation in seasonal events.”
Those who preorder the platformer/battle royale mix can take part in a limited beta between April 20 and 24. For those who want to jump right in, online matches against other players and practice matches versus AI bots will be offered.
How does Crash Team Rumble strike you? Will you participate in the closed beta test?
God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring were both beaten out for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Game by a tiny little independent title called Vampire Survivors, which isn’t even accessible on PlayStation systems. Do you really believe that?
Putting all lightheartedness aside, Vampire Survivors was something of a phenomenon in 2022, and you would have to be living under a rock (or live offline) to have missed it. It burst into prominence and eventually became a favorite among industry insiders. A fiendishly addictive fundamental gameplay loop hides beneath a deceptively simple exterior, earning developer Luca Galante, aka Poncle, this year’s BAFTA for Game Design as well as another honor.

There hasn’t been any news of the mega-hit coming to PlayStation as of yet, so there’s probably some sort of exclusivity agreement in place or anything else blocking it. Perhaps one day we will be granted access to it, but until then, console yourself with one of the numerous high-end games on our preferred platform, such as The Last of Us, which won Best Game back in 2014.
In slightly related news, Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation legend, received a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the organization.
What do you think about the Vampire Survivors’ victory—do you believe it was well-deserved or totally absurd?
While we felt Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition was fantastic when it was launched on the PS5 last year, we were only able to play the base game. We are incredibly grateful that the great Royal Court extension will be coming to consoles. This is a regal proclamation that we could not be more delighted to make.
It’s pretty difficult to switch back after you’ve experienced the conveniences and enhancements that Royal Court offers to the well-stocked table, as anyone who has played Crusader Kings 3 on PC knows. It’s not just for show; players will be able to use trophies and priceless pieces of art to adorn their throne room, which adds a minor RPG system to an already magnificently complex adventure.
If you haven’t already and like the basic Crusader King’s experience, we highly encourage you to give Royal Court a try. This expansion is the ideal reason to jump back in for another round of backroom maneuvering. Are you going to create your own royal court?
