Gearbox Confirms Battleborn's Next Update Will Be Its Last

But the game isn't going anywhere.

By Jordan Oloman

Battleborn will not receive any future content beyond an update coming this fall.

"As of this week, there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update," creative director Randy Varnell said in a post on the Gearbox forums.

The Fall Update will include minor balance changes, as well as a number of Borderlands-themed character skins, including the likes of Claptrap and Zero.

Varnell also spoke to the future of Battleborn and the status of its online servers, assuring fans that "Battleborn is here to stay. Nothing is changing with Battleborn, and the servers will be up and active for the foreseeable future."

In light of this news, Varnell will be shifting focus to "play a significant role [...] on a highly anticipated but unannounced game." Given Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford's tease at PAX West, this unannounced game is almost certainly Borderlands 3.

Battleborn went free-to-play earlier this year, allowing players to experience the hero shooter's multiplayer modes with a rotating weekly roster. For our thoughts on the game, check out IGN's review.
