Description:
Out of nowhere and with little fanfare, Zynga has launched a brand new
free-to-play Borderlands game for mobile.

FULL STORY

Borderlands Mobile was suddenly published by the mobile game company on
Thursday this week, somewhat randomly, and is developed by Star Wars : 
Hunters studio, NaturalMotion. The spin-off game, which Zynga is calling a
"limited-time test," doesn't have a fancy title and is currently only
available on the App Store for iPhone users in the US. I tried downloading 
the game in the UK, but encountered a region lock issue.

"We are always exploring ways to introduce Borderlands to new audiences," a
Zynga spokesperson said in a statement to IGN . 

"Zyngas NaturalMotion studio is currently conducting a limited-time test for
an untitled Borderlands mobile project, with Gearbox providing creative
guidance on the franchise's design, history, and lore. We hope that players
enjoy this new Borderlands experience and look forward to their feedback." 

No trailer or gameplay has been shared for Borderlands Mobile at this time,
but from the screenshots on the App Store, it does appear to feature
characters from the broader Borderlands franchise, such as Tiny Tina, Moxxi, 
a Psycho, and Claptrap. 

We do know that the game is an "action-packed looter shooter" like previous
Borderlands games, features Vault Hunters, and "brings the signature chaos,
art style, and gun-slinging adventure to mobile for the first time!"

"Hunt down legendary loot drops and power up your abilities to customize the
way you play," the description reads. "Use everything from pistols to rocket
launchers to make your enemies wish they never crossed your path! Master
devastating action gameplay that's been fully optimized for mobile. Fight
skags, bandits, and bosses as you battle through a variety of exciting 
mission types, including Campaign Missions, Tower of Terror, and Circle of
Slaughter." 

We'll have to wait and see if the game remains live and if it spreads to
Android devices as well as other regions.
