Today developer Boss Key Productions and publisher Nexon released a brand new patch for their first-person shooter LawBreakers.

First and foremost, patch 1.4 adds a brand new map to LawBreakers called Namsan, which takes place in a large building on the side of a mountain. A new section in the menu called Skirmishes has also been added, which is essentially a way of bringing new modes to the game for a limited amount of time. The first mode that will be available via Skirmishes is Team Deathmatch.

In addition to that patch 1.4 also adds a number of minor things to LawBreakers, including health regeneration changes, team spawning changes, and more. The game's last update, patch 1.3, was released, and included the addition of a new map variant, limitations to amount of roles in Quick Play, and the implementation of decals on maps.

LawBreakers was officially released on August 8, 2017, and is available on PlayStation 4, and PC. DualShockers' Co-Founder Al Zamora reviewed LawBreakers giving it an 8.0 out of 10, noting "LawBreakers is fun and fast and a breath of fresh air for a space that needed some infusion of change."
