Borderlands Online was revealed just a year before it was shut down.
In 2015 it was announced that Borderlands Online had been canceled, and a bunch of people asked, “What was Borderlands Online anyway?” That’s because it was planned to be a China-only MMO set in the Borderlands universe, with the kind of free-to-play model publishers used to see as a good way to “crack the Asian market” but wouldn’t bother with in the west. Things have changed, hey?
Now, modder and dataminer EpicNNG (responsible for Wonderlands Redux, among other things), has dug up a build of Borderlands Online and got the character creator working again so a whole new generation can ask, “What was Borderlands Online anyway?”
Borderlands Online would have cast players as Vault Hunters who crash-land on Pandora, choosing from four character classes: Siren, Soldier, Berserker, and Hunter.
