2K just launched a new Borderlands game. But before you get too excited, this isn\u2019t Borderlands 5 or a Wonderlands sequel. Nope, instead it\u2019s Borderlands Mobile, a mission-based looter shooter developed exclusively for phones that is free and out now on iOS.<\/p>\n
As spotted by deals guru Wario64,<\/a> Borderlands Mobile is out now and available to download for free on the App Store. It is currently only available on iOS devices,<\/a> and it seems to be built primarily for the iPhone. I played Borderlands Mobile on my iPad and had to use the \u201cfull screen\u201d button to fill the screen, indicating that this isn\u2019t really built for bigger screens. Bummer. Here\u2019s some gameplay of Borderlands Mobile:\u00a0<\/p>\n And uh, yeah, this is just out. As far as I can tell, there wasn\u2019t any teasing for this game from 2K or Gearbox. I couldn\u2019t even find a trailer. The official Borderlands account on Twitter, as of April 9 at around 11 a.m. EST, has yet to post about it either. Borderlands Mobile also seems unfinished. At the moment, I could only pick the Siren character and couldn\u2019t customize her at all. The opening intro video seems to imply this is set after the events of Borderlands 3, but likely before Borderlands 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s very odd for a massive franchise like Borderlands to drop a new game like this, even a mobile spin-off, without any fanfare or trailers. Perhaps they want to test it out and see how people react, and if it does well, expand on it and do a bigger marketing push later. But that\u2019s just a guess. Anyway, I\u2019m playing a new Borderlands game today, which I didn\u2019t expect when I woke up this morning.<\/p>\n
