LawBreakers studio’s next game is an ’80s-infused, battle royale game show
Radical Heights is a colorful, cheesy take on battle royale
Last week, LawBreakers developer Boss Key Productions announced it was moving on from that game, saying the arena shooter had failed to find an audience. Today, Boss Key revealed what it’s working on next: Radical Heights, a free-to-play battle royale shooter that’s coming to Steam Early Access tomorrow.
Radical Heights is entering the increasingly crowded battle royale space with a stylistic differentiator: Boss Key is infusing the shooter with a colorful, cheesy ’80s aesthetic. Radical Heights is also leaning into its murderous game show element — think Running Man or Smash TV. “Cash is king” in Radical Heights, the developer said in a news release. Players will fight for cash and prizes while attempting to kill each other.
“Only in Radical Heights does in-game cash you find carry over into future matches,” Boss Key said. “Play matches, collect cash, kill contestants, interact with game show elements and more to buy cosmetics from your personal prize room, or put some of that sweet cash in your bank to help buy a weapon next match quicker than your opponents. The choice is yours.”
Radical Heights promises a variety of ’80s-era appropriate vehicles and weapons, including BMX bikes, workout trampolines, confetti bombs, inflatable decoys and remote explosives. Boss Key is self-publishing the game.
“This is a five month passion project for the studio as we’re creating and publishing the game entirely by ourselves,” said Zach Lowery, Radical Heights’ creative director, in a statement. “We’re huge fans of Battle Royale games along with the bright, inviting irreverence of the 80’s aesthetic. Because of that, we want to put our own spin on the genre and create a futuristic 80’s world that takes place in 2023 during an over-the-top game show where contestants battle it out for fame and prizes.”
Radical Heights will be free to play when it hits Windows PC via Steam Early Access on Tuesday, April 10. A founders pack with “exclusive items and bonuses” will be available for $14.99.

Radical Heights Loses 82 Percent of Player Base in 2 Weeks
When footage of Radical Heights‘ wacky gameplay started doing the rounds a few weeks ago, many praised developer Boss Key’s interesting iteration on the Battle Royale genre. But now, only two weeks since releasing in Early Access on Steam, the game’s player base has dropped by 82%.
It doesn’t take an industry expert to notice that Battle Royale games are dominating video game culture right now, so it’s perhaps unsurprising to see developers attempting to carve out their own space in the extremely lucrative market. Such an opportunity is perhaps needed by no company more than Boss Key, who decided to move on from their shooter LawBreakers in order to try their hand at creating a retro-themed Battle Royale.
It seems that it’s precisely this rush to capitalize on the games industry’s current obsession (Boss Key created Radical Heights in only 5 months) that has lead to some frustrations; many players have reported glitches and a general feeling of the game being unfinished, which may go some way to explaining how the game fell from a peak of 12,500 players on its second day to just 2,200 a few days ago.
The initial figures for Radical Heights were promising; 12,500 players was enough to eclipse LawBreakers‘ underwhelming performance and shoot the game up to #21 on Steam. Unfortunately, it now seems that this initial success was little more than the novelty of a new Battle Royale game for fans of the genre to try out.
Along with the aforementioned issues with glitches, a lot of players also report feeling that Radical Heights does little to distinguish itself in an oversaturated genre. Many have attributed Fortnite‘s success in dethroning PUBGas the most popular Battle Royale game to its unique building mechanic and its quirky art style, offering players a distinctly different experience. Aside from an interesting economy whereby money can be banked during games to spend later on cosmetics or for better loot in subsequent games, Radical Heights is sadly lacking in any such defining feature.
However, things aren’t all bad for Radical Heights. Last night, Ninja – Twitch’s #1 streamer who continues to break viewership records – attracted over 108,000 viewers while playing the game. Meanwhile, fellow Twitch personality DrDisrespect hosted a popular Radical Heights stream just a few days ago. While the latest player figures certainly aren’t promising, it’s possible that with the continued attention from streamers, and maybe a few substantial updates, the game can grow its audience.
Radical Heights is available now for PC.

CD Projekt Red To Showcase A PC/PS4/XB1 Role-Playing Game At This Year’s E3
CD Projekt Red has been working on Cyberpunk 2077 for quite some time, and it seems like the time has come for the game to enter the spotlight.
Today, the E3 2018 Official Website has confirmed that CD Projekt Red will showcase a PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC role-playing game. Chances are high that it’s indeed Cyberpunk 2077, although there’s also the chance that it may be another role-playing game that’s been confirmed to be in the works by the Polish developer.
Today’s news seems to somewhat confirm a rumor from earlier this year when it has been revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 will only be shown behind closed doors at the E3.
"We obtained information about the plan to present the game at the most important industry event independently from two different sources and in both cases we can not disclose where they came from. We immediately reserve that such revelations must always be treated with an appropriate distance. Until CD Projekt RED officially announces that Cyberpunk 2077 will appear at E3, there is absolutely no certainty that this will happen. We strongly believe, however, that the above speculations will be confirmed."
It’s been some time since CD Projekt Red talked about Cyberpunk 2077. Back in March, president Adam Kiciński confirmed that the game is technologically quite advanced and it’s being developed in a way that it can take advantage of future, more powerful hardware.

Remedy’s next game will be unveiled at E3
Update, April 30: We’ll soon be able to stop calling it P7, because Remedy will finally unveil their new game at E3.
Good news, Remedy fans: the studio’s mysterious P7 will finally be unveiled at E3. We’ve heard rumblings about Project 7 - that’s a working title, if you hadn’t guessed - since way back in 2016, with news that the Alan Wake and Max Payne studio would drop their long-standing partnership with Microsoft to bring the game to market with a new publisher.
That'll be another one to add to our upcoming PC games list.
That new publisher is 505 Games, and they’ll showcase P7 as part of their E3 lineup, “giving press the first hands-off look” at the game. No details beyond that just yet, aside from confirmation that P7 is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Other games on the 505 slate include Underworld Ascendant, Indivisible, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Remedy have two games in development, and financial reports from the company say P7 will launch sometime in 2019. Job listings and product descriptions for P7 suggest it will keep the studio’s usual cinematic focus while incorporating Destiny-like online elements.
E3 2018 begins June 12.
