Despite the criticism the game received, its a shame that it’s life was cut short; as the game did offer unique gameplay for a shooter and I found myself enjoying the game for the time I did play it.

Regardless, with the support of Gearbox Software’s latest IP coming to an end. This also means the Texas-based studio can now focus it’s attention on the highly anticipated Borderlands 3. Just recently, it was discovered that the studio is already looking for a writer for the game according to a recent job posting.
