Borderlands Mobile Drops on iOS in Surprise Soft Launch

Zynga's NaturalMotion quietly launched a Borderlands Mobile test on iOS, with Gearbox providing creative guidance. The free-to-play title is optimized for mobile, features quick mission loops, events like Circle of Slaughter, and four classes (only The Summoner is live so far). It supports touch controls, has an in-game companion system, and is likely to monetize via microtransactions, though the exact model remains unclear during this soft launch. The move follows Borderlands 4's underperformance and Gearbox pausing a Switch 2 version.
