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.
