Who’s heard of LawBreakers, then? No one? It’s the game that Gears of War maker Cliff Bleszinski’s been working on forever – a kind of free-to-play first-person shooter that’s had its lunch eaten by Overwatch like so many others of its ilk. But there’s news ahead: it may be coming to the PlayStation 4 at some point in the future.
Nothing’s confirmed just yet, but the game’s official Twitter account posted out a short GIF of a robot ground pounding, before an LED panel on its face briefly displays PlayStation’s iconic face button symbols. There’s no way this is a coincidence, but we’ll find out for certain later today.
Update: And it's been confirmed.

Is there really a big enough audience for all of these free-to-play shooters and MMOs on PS4? Surely they all eat into each other?
A huge giant meh.
You lost me at free-to-play.
@ShogunRok F2P eliminates a big a barrier to entry by being, well, free. I'm sure they'll eat into each other, and also make the market much more competitive. Usually when a new free to play game comes you see another one either die or begin to die.
It'll either be a nonstarter or it'll push another less popular game further out of the market. I guess it helps that it's on another platform as well.
@ShogunRok the more the merrier 😏
Its been in Beta for PC for years now so maybe finally they are reaching the stage they can bring it to consoles - similar to other F2P games like Hawken.
I have heard it's almost like a combination of Overwatch and Quake. Also it's not really kid friendly like Overwatch as the violence can be a bit intense as well as the language.

Its official
You lost me at shooter.
Too much shooters being around. Luckily, I won't have to complain about it since Sony has everything else covered as well ^^
I don't think many people bought console to play free to play games.
@wiiware It's not F2P it's a very misleading headline for the article. Even more so if you don't bother to read the article. I think it look's pretty good, there's been no decent online FPS for age's, I think that's a major part of the reason for such crappy game sale's in the UK atm.
@xMEADx I mean in general people rarely buy console for free to play game, this game is $30.
@wiiware Ahh I see, after Neverwinter i'm not going anywhere near F2P game's again. I've played to many now and they all turn out to be pay to win, Paladin's seem to be an exception but i'm done with F2P.
