Due to strong competition from popular online-shooterOverwatchand a dwindling player base, developer Gearbox Software has decided to cease any ongoing development for their online first-person shooter,Battleborn.
Battleborn- Final Battleplan
The news wasannounced in a heartfelt message on their forumsby Randy Varnell aka “Jythri”, who broke the news and addressed the situation and future for the title.
“I’ve been working onBattlebornnearly exclusively since 2012, and in some ways, that work stretches back to 2009 for me. It’s been a long labor of love with many of my good friends at Gearbox, and I’m proud to have shared that journey with you, our community. Your spirit and loyalty have been a constant inspiration to the team at Gearbox.”
Gearbox will stop releasing content in the future for their MOBA-like online shooter once its’Fall Updaterolls out.
“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.”
To thank the community, Gearbox is giving away a free skin code for Deande that is redeemable untilOctober 2. Thecode can be foundat the bottom of the forum post.
“As thanks to everyone who tuned in to the Battleplan over the last year, we’ve got a SHiFT code for Deande’s “Intelligence” skin.”
Players will still be able to playBattleborn”for the foreseeable future” and the game will be maintained by a small team.
