Perhaps that’s a little harsh but you have to admit that the similarities are pretty difficult to overlook.

Battleborn went into life support mode once Gearbox announced that all updates would be halted in 2017, and now its parent 2K Games is finally ready to pull the plug on it in 2021.

CA is looking for a “lead hero designer” for a “groundbreaking FPS” which sounds pretty much exactly how you’d expect them to market a new hero shooter.

Looks like the writing is on the wall then, as Battleborn’s final content is on the way. Creative director Randy Varnell’s post on the Gearbox forum revealed that the future update will introduce the last call for balance updates and new character skins before the remaining Battleborn team moves on to the “highly anticipated” project that has yet to be announced.

Yesterday we told you that Battleborn was probably going to become a free-to-play title given the hints to such by a new patch. It turns out we were wrong.

Battleborn wasn’t the hit that Gearbox and publisher 2K hoped it would be. Trying to take some of the Borderlands Magic and apply it to the MOBA template didn’t work out in Gearbox’s favour. Could a free-to-play push help?

Overwatch and Battleborn were leagues apart in terms of design, but that didn't stop the fans from comparing the two. Something that Gearbox says was impossible to avoid.

Releasing a brand new IP into the world of gaming is a scary prospect for developers. Some took the plunge however, with amazing results. One however, stood head and shoulders above the rest.
