The final Lawbreakers beta has launched, playable all weekend until the 31st. Developed by BossKey Productions, Lawbreakers offers “gravity-defying-combat” in an objective-based arena shooter.

In game, two teams of five square off, one team making up the “Law,” the other making up the “Breakers.” Play as one of nine roles, each role having a specific character for the Law side and the Breakers side.

Your first choice can be to play the role of Assassin, a high mobility close quarters character with dual wielded blades and a sidearm shotgun. Dash through the map and split apart enemies with a pulse grenade, then move in for the kill.

The Battlemedic is a healer class with a grenade launcher, complete with healing support drones and a hoverpack to increase mobility and strafe away from incoming damage.

The Enforcer comes with a high-powered assault rifle, a shoulder-mounted rocket, an electromagnetic charge to disrupt enemy abilities, and a distortion field to speed up teammates.

The Gunslinger dual wields accurate pistols, has throwing knives and can teleport to close the distance between themselves and the enemy.

The Harrier is equipped with a laser gun, jetpack boots, and a supercharger to heal and power up teammates. Take advantage of her omnidirectional mobility to position yourself in a spot to do damage with her long-range beam.

The Juggernaut is Lawbreakers’ tank, where players can drop shields, charge into enemies, and do close-range damage with their pump-shotgun.

Quake fans will love the Titan, who uses a rocket launcher to deal huge damage to the enemy team. Rocket jump, slam the ground with a Crush ability, and slow enemy movements with neutron mines with this projectile-based character.

The Vanguard is equipped with a Gatling Gun, grenade clusters, and can dive bomb onto enemies from high in the air.

Wraith is another mobility character, who can run about the map with a full-auto pistol and knife, dealing quick damage to unsuspecting enemies.

The game modes of Lawbreakers should interest players as well, with four current objective game types. Overcharge is a capture-the-flag like game mode, where a team has to secure a battery in the middle of the map, and defend it as it charges in their base. The battery doesn’t lose charge, so if it’s stolen the enemy team gets all the charge the other team accumulated. Uplink is similar, except it features a satellite dish instead of a battery, and team base retains a charge, but the satellite doesn’t. Turf War is Lawbreakers’ domination game mode, where teams have to control three points across a map. In Blitzball, teams have to get to a ball in the center of the map and escort it to the other team’s base. The ball itself is voiced by Rick and Morty Co-Creator Justin Roiland.

Thew Lawbreakers beta is available now! Visit their site here for more information. The game launches August 8th!

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
