While the reception to Boss Key’s multiplayer shooter LawBreakers may not have been as strong as the company was expecting, the game has been gathering a pretty strong community on PlayStation 4 and PC.
With that, the publisher has announced plans to expand the game with a number of updates over the course of the year, including planned improvements and other new things that should keep fans happy. As expected, the updates will be free to those that purchased the core game for their platform of choice.

The company’s latest blog post has broken down a number of these changes, but you can see them below.
New Onboarding Experiences
We recognize that new players might be turned off due to a lack of knowledge on the ins and outs (and ups and downs) of the game. We are improving our new player onboarding experience with new tutorial gameplay features along with new tutorial videos. We believe these new changes will give players (both new and old) the knowledge they need to begin competing at a high level and to understand the nuances of the game and the classes.
Continued Game Improvements
LawBreakers is not a fire and forget title. It’s a game we crafted to run for years. But before we talk long term, we start by thinking small… this is why we are committed to continual, rapid fire updates to the game. This allows us to be responsive to issues brought up by the community and iterate on balance changes as is needed. Some games go months between updates and while that may work for them, it doesn’t work for LawBreakers. We’re going to continue to listen to your feedback and update the game rapidly, so keep sharing your thoughts with us.
New Map
The inaugural post-launch map release is Namsan, the first map set outside a post-shattering United States. It is currently in testing and is slated for release later this month.As with everything map, mode, and class related in LawBreakers, all players who own the game will get this map for free.
Skirmishes
Our content update coming soon isn’t just about a new map, we’re also experimenting with entirely new modes. We call these Skirmishes, and each one is temporary. They’re all about playing the game different than you can in Quick Match, and to start things out we’re going to drop our Team Deathmatch Skirmish in a brand-new playspace. Yep, we’ve been listening.
LawBreakers is available now for PlayStation 4 and PC.
