It was back in late 2017, just one year after the original premiere of the title on PS4, Xbox One and PC, when the developer released the last update, the fall update of that course, with new manager, outfits, titles and finishers. Not even the release of a free version with access to all maps and modes managed to get the situation back. It was not until November 2019 that the unpleasant news was announced: Battleborn would say goodbye at the beginning of 2021. From there, a succession of restrictions that have been materializing little by little; starting with the withdrawal of the purchase of the virtual currency of payment of the game.
In the original FreeGameTips review, we rated Battleborn 7.5 out of 10 and classed it as a remarkable mix between what Borderlands already offered and what had also been established for years with an inexhaustible community, League of Lefends. “Battleborn is a game with a unique playable proposal, and it is precisely this attempt to find something different that this time has played a trick on it. It offers very interesting potential, its gameplay shines in many aspects, such as its Raid Mode or the clashes in its campaign, but it can be a bit monotonous at other times ”.
