Borderlands Mobile Out Now On IOS Devices And Is Free
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- 2K has quietly launched Borderlands Mobile, a free, mission-based looter shooter exclusively for iOS devices, available now on the App Store without prior announcement or marketing.
- The game appears to be optimized primarily for iPhone, with limited support for larger screens like iPads, and currently offers only the Siren character with no customization options.
- The storyline seems to take place after Borderlands 3 but before Borderlands 4, though the game feels unfinished and lacks typical promotional materials such as trailers or social media posts.
- 2K clarified that Borderlands Mobile is a limited-time test developed by Zynga’s NaturalMotion studio with creative input from Gearbox, aimed at introducing the franchise to new audiences and gathering player feedback.
- This unexpected release strategy suggests 2K may be evaluating player interest before committing to a larger marketing campaign or further development.
