Live Service Loot Shooting Game Destiny 2-Seasonal paid content in a style that lacks the original borderland To be honest, Vault Hunters doesn't sound like a remake. It just feels like a spin-off. It's possible that the source of this rumor misrepresented it as a remake. It is said that such a large-scale project involves many companies negotiating with each other to make the game a reality. In addition to Bungie, Gearbox, Sony, and 2K are all in “early discussions” about making this plan a reality.
Rumors suggest that Gearbox may be considering: Borderlands 2 A remake that could potentially be a “time-limited PlayStation 6 exclusive.” since Borderlands The series has never been limited to a specific console, and this would be another controversial move.
Therefore, there is always a chance that negotiations will break down. Even if this rumor sounds a little strange, there's Sony's push for live services to keep in mind. The company has been adamant about executing its live service plans, so it wouldn't be too drastic if it were considering such a game. until now, Helldiver 2 and marathon It was the only Sony live service project to be successful, and the future of the latter remains uncertain. agreement Games that closed after just two weeks and are now canceled The Last of Us Onlinemultiplayer god of war Spinoff, and Insomnia Marvel's Spider-Man: The Great Web It never crossed the finish line.
Destiny 2's approach to seasonal content has marked its downfall, and this rumored Borderlands game could soon meet the same fate.
Destiny 2 Although the ending brought to an end many years of fond gaming memories, the game struggled to keep players engaged for some time. Bungie's Approach Destiny 2's seasonal content was viewed by many as repetitive tasks that made the game more boring than actually engaging. It also makes starting out as a new player more difficult as only small chunks of the story are presented through small breadcrumbs, making it difficult to follow the entire story. Archiving important content, power limitations, and predictable content deletion makes for a frustrating and tedious experience.

If you use Bungie Destiny 2's seasonal content approach as a new blueprint. borderland If so, the same thing will happen with this rumored project. Sure, seasonal content may be exciting at first, but Bungie has already Destiny 2 This method may only be attractive for a long time. The game will eventually start to feel more like a chore than something worth your time in the long run.
If Sony and Bungie insist on making a Destiny 2 style game, the focus should be on Destiny 3.
no way fate-style Borderlands The game will likely attract a significant number of players at first, but it will not be a project that gamers are actively demanding. The live service era of gaming may be coming to an end, but it's incredibly disappointing that Sony, with its roots in some of the best single-player narrative-based games the industry has ever seen, insists on sticking with the genre.

also, Destiny 2 While the community has come together to host server slams and create online petitions, news that Bungie may be considering a new live service project similar to the now-defunct game is only likely to spark further outrage. Create a bungee Destiny 3 The next game could revitalize the franchise. Destiny 2 We've been stuck in a monotonous live service cycle, but I don't think that's going to happen.
The two live service games Sony has in the pipeline next are: Horizon Hunter Gathering and Fair Game$. Neither project has a release date yet.
Only time will tell what this Bungie is like. borderland The remake rumors are true. There's no telling what Bungie's next game will be. marathonBut first borderland The game as a live service looter shooter is sure to spark a lot of passionate discussion. Bungie needs to do something big to keep its long-time fan base engaged with its live service. borderland It doesn't sound like the game will do the trick.
