Hey guys, Chris Thomas, Producer at 2K here. Gearbox and 2K are working hard to get Battleborn in your hands on February 9th. And today, during the PlayStation press conference at Paris Games Week, we dropped some awesome news: we showed off Battleborn’s competitive multiplayer modes and you — PS4 players — get your hands on the game even earlier than you might think!

It at least deserved them moving it to a solo-able option post server shut-down, IMHO.

Game preservation is important.
Single-player campaign should always be offline. So that some part(s) of a certain game still lives through and can be enjoyed later.
Always Online games will always end up like this at some point. Offline SP campaign should ALWAYS be included.
Thinking that games ( and in particular this one ) will forever be lost, it makes me sad.
Battleborn will shut down on the 31st of January 2021, so let's revisit its ill-fated history and discuss its surreal departure.
One of the funnier game i played with my friends. I like that one of the reason it failed is that it had many reviews like the one you did; criticizing the gameplay because it's 'too complex': because it had a skill tree and because there was different classes... My personal analysis of its failure is beacause of the Blizzard PR team: they saw a threat in it , and decided to kill it by paying professional reviews and counting on their fanboys to bash it and create a fake 'comparaison war' with it. The saddest thing is that this game will disappear forever. It casts, as others in the same situtation, a dark shadow on the future of video gaming. Hopefully there are and still will be 'pirates' to save and archive these for the future generations, that i hope will someday realize that consumerism is not the only solution.
Nice Battleborn with Tekken 7 coming to PS4 combo cake!
For some reason it reminds me of Team Fortress.
And I thought the beta was over
Got my key and I am pre-loading it right now.
i got it on xbox one now tho?
