Remember Battleborn? Gearbox’s response to Overwatch was a similar hero shooter with flamboyant characters, but it failed to catch on in the same way. After launching in 2016, it received quite positive reviews, but it didn’t make much of an impact among consumers, and publisher 2K Games was unable to gather any real enthusiasm.
The game was kept alive with updates until about a year later and, in 2019, was withdrawn from sale in digital stores. Since then, things have been slowly slowing down for an eventual server shutdown. Yesterday (January 31, 2021) was the last day that you were able to login and play Battleborn. Now, with online support officially over, this is a game lost in time. It is no longer playable in any capacity.
It’s a sad story, but unfortunately, not every game can capture the moment the way Overwatch or Fortnite did. The advantage is that Gearbox has had much more success recently with Borderlands 3, so we are sure you are not too sad about it. Onward and upward.
