An Important Announcement About Battleborn

Hello, everyone. Battleborn has been removed from digital storefronts, and we are now in the process of gradually sunsetting the game to focus our efforts and resources on other projects. So, what...

Legit question but does anyone play Battleborn still? Also Jan 2021 is still more than a year from now, kinda early to announce it.

It was awfully nice of them to keep the game running for the 100 or so people playing it though.

Not an outright awful game to be honest. The tankier characters and the more MOBA-like rules and general gameplay gave it a bit of an identity when directly compared with Overwatch, but releasing a competitive FPS Hero shooter alongside that fucking goliath of a game? That was the big ol' rusty nail in the coffin. It's like releasing "Timmy's First Platformer" at the same time as a mainline Mario game. We know who's gonna come out the other end as the victor.

I enjoyed my time with the game. I was pretty impressed that they eventually released a patch to change the consoles FPS performance from 30fps to 60fps. What killed my interest in it for me was the lack of interesting skins and customization.

a moba in FPS form, it failed. its ok at least you tried to do something new.

Companies usually give about a year of heads up unless they're in financial trouble or bankrupting.

Major loss if true

Gone too soon x

The 12 people who still play this game must be bummed...

Is there any custom server software? If not, sucks for both of those fans.

I got it from some old Humble Bundle but I was never able to run it due to my graphic card being too old...since I plan to upgrade around Christmas or a bit later, I'll finally give a shot to the Campaign...'cause I kinda liked what I played at 10fps and PSX graphic settings so, we'll see

 

[Shifty]

That took longer than expected.
