Upon launching for PlayStation 4 and PC in August 2017, it garnered a generally positive critical impression (read our review <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/games\/lawbreakers\/b\/pc\/archive\/2017\/08\/11\/a-passionless-prison-for-great-gameplay.aspx\">here<\/a>). However, it failed to find its place in the competitive multiplayer shooter market of the time, resulting in poor sales and low player engagement that eventually led to its early demise in September 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, a team of passionate fans has worked to bring LawBreakers back. Dubbed The RELB Project, the project has been in the works since at least 2020. Its FAQ states that \u201cThis is a project to bring back the game LawBreakers, it&#8217;s done by creating &#8216;fake&#8217; servers that the original game client uses. You can join by downloading the launcher, patching your game and playing like normal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RELB\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/relb.org\/\">website<\/a> allows you to download the launcher. Despite this revival being an unofficial project, Cliff Bleszinki (who has been vocal about wanting to see LawBreakers come back) has given it his blessing and enthusiastically shared RELB\u2019s Discord on Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tw-align-center twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Somehow LawBreakers is coming back, see below!!!<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re interested in this weekend&#8217;s public test or future tests, join the RELB discord server to learn how to get set up and keep up with the current news! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1COV57FZQ5\">https:\/\/t.co\/1COV57FZQ5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cliff Bleszinski (@therealcliffyb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/therealcliffyb\/status\/1779235918433391086?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The RELB Project is still very much a work in progress, but the team held its first series of public playtests this past weekend.
