An eagle-eyed poster on ResetEra has spotted a new Borderlands game on the App Store, simply called “Borderlands Mobile“. It’s since emerged it’s a “limited-time test” only available in the US for a yet untitled Borderlands mobile project made in consultation with Gearbox.
The Zynga developed mobile game is reportedly set in the Borderland 3 era, promising the same looter shooter gameplay as the mainline releases with plenty of loot to collect and missions to complete.
Confirming the surprise release was intentional, a 2K spokesperson has provided a statement to Forbes saying, “we are always exploring ways to introduce Borderlands to new audiences.”
“Zynga’s NaturalMotion studio is currently conducting a limited-time test for an untitled Borderlands mobile project, with Gearbox providing creative guidance on the franchise’s design, history, and lore. We hope that players enjoy this new Borderlands experience and look forward to their feedback.”
Here’s the description from the App Store:
Create Mayhem YOUR way! Loot wild weapons and blast enemies in this mobile Borderlands experience.
Join other Vault Hunters in an ever-evolving universe to fight greedy corporations and open legendary Vaults. This action-packed looter shooter brings the signature chaos, art style, and gun-slinging adventure to mobile for the first time!
Hunt down legendary loot drops and power up your abilities to customize the way you play. Use everything from pistols to rocket launchers to make your enemies wish they never crossed your path!
Master devastating action gameplay that’s been fully optimized for mobile. Fight skags, bandits, and bosses as you battle through a variety of exciting mission types, including Campaign Missions, Tower of Terror, and Circle of Slaughter.
What are you waiting for, Vault Hunter! The vaults won’t open themselves( and those bandits won’t shoot themselves either).
Borderlands 4 game out last year, our reviewer giving it an 8/10 writing “we haven’t had a Borderlands game this packed with changes and new ideas since Borderlands 2.”
