Gearbox’s first-person shooter, Battleborn, was released in 2016 and after a whole year of support, the company decided to pull the plug. As such, the upcoming Fall update will be the last patch content for Battleborn and even though the server will remain live, there aren’t any planned additional patches or content updates for it.
As Battleborn’s creative director Randy Varnell stated:
“As of this week, there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update. Details of any future changes or news will be made on our forums or through social media, so keep your radars on.”
The Fall update for Battleborn will feature minor balance changes and some new skins that are themed around some of Borderlands’ characters. In addition, it will include some updated title art for the more significant challenges in the game, as well as some additional Finisher Boosts and Taunts.
Varnell later claimed that Gearbox will be now focusing on a new title, and our guess is that Varnell is referring to Borderlands 3.
“If you’ve been paying attention to recent news from the Gearbox Panel at PAX West, you’ll have heard that many folks at Gearbox are working on a highly anticipated project. Although I’m sad my time on Battleborn is coming to a close, I’m happy to announce that I will play a significant role on this highly anticipated but unannounced game, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing some from me again in the future regarding Gearbox games.”
And that is that!

I enjoyed initially borderlands but yeah, completely agreed.

Lawbreakers is soon to crawl into the grave right next to Battleborn. “Billion-dollar IP”. lol
We live in a time where you step into the AAA MP arena, you go big or you go home.

In the event for whatever reason you are impressed by borderlands 3, just buy shadow warrior 2 instead, its better than borderlands in every way.
That’s good, I hope less and less devs will choose to make games from the “bunch of embarrassing, exaggerated weirdos fight for some larger-than-life reason” genre.
I knew it was going to be a move for them to make. Any big publisher out there will see it as a lost attempt at taking the top spot, so they’ll pull the plug and try again with some other game. What this does though, is it proves that those pubs aren’t in it for the long game, they don’t actually care about the game itself or the community it could or has fostered, instead it just cares for the money they tossed into it and nothing more.
This is why I’m mostly wary of the bigger pubs out there like EA and co, because their MP based games can easily be pulled if they don’t meet their profit margins or gain the ripe amount of popularity they were hoping for.
