The unfortunate hero shooter Battleborn is facing the end. Studio Gearbox has decided not to further develop the title after the next update. Instead, the Battleborn team is now reportedly working on a new Gearbox title. Is it Borderlands 3?
It’s so sad, as it was to be expected: The colorful and complex hero shooter Battleborn will no longer be developed. After even the partial free-to-play transition and fan-organized Battleborn Day events have not helped, developer Gearbox is now pulling the emergency brake and letting the Battleborn team work on another project of the studio.
Battleborn – The fall update will be the last – Battleborn will continue to run
Therefore, there is only the upcoming update for fall in terms of new content. After that, support will end and Gearbox is expected to release no further content for Battleborn. Should there be any news about Battleborn, it will be published through social media.
However, according to Creative Director Randy Varnell, the servers will continue to run for the foreseeable future. You can still happily play Battleborn. The game will not be shut down. Whether you will have much fun on the servers – according to Steam, an average of 100 players are online – is another question.
Is the Battleborn team now working on Borderlands 3?
The end of Battleborn support also has its positives: The team of the unfortunate hero shooter is now reportedly working on another, yet-to-be-announced Gearbox project, according to Randy Varnell.
And even though no names were mentioned, it is strongly suspected that the new game starts with “Border” and ends with “Lands 3.” Especially considering that the new skins and themes from the final Battleborn update have a strong Borderlands touch.
