Gearbox have announced they will no longer be adding new content drops to Battleborn.

The announcement was made via a blog post by the game’s Creative Director, Randy Varnell, over the weekend, in which he said there is currently “no planned content” coming to the game after the Fall Update. Although content drops may be coming to an end, Varnell was keen to stress that servers will remain up and players will be able to continue enjoying the game for the “foreseeable future.”
“I’ve been working on Battleborn nearly exclusively since 2012, and in some ways, that work stretches back to 2009 for me. It’s been a long labor of love with many of my good friends at Gearbox, and I’m proud to have shared that journey with you, our community,” said Varnell.
 
“I want to personally thank you for giving Battleborn a chance, and dipping down into a new universe with us.”
 
Battleborn was only released a little over a year ago, but suffered from launching so close to Overwatch, a game that also features hero-based multiplayer gameplay. Gearbox essentially made Battleborn free-to-play earlier in the summer after allowing people unlimited access to the game’s multiplayer, modes and maps, with a selection of playable heroes rotated weekly.
 
The news comes not long after Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said during PAX West that around 90% of the studio’s staff were “working on the thing I think most of you guys want us to be working on,” which is widely believed to be the next instalment in the Borderlands series.
