- A new free-to-play Borderlands the game is launched on mobile
- Zynga calls Borderlands Mobile a “limited time test” for iPhone
- The game is only available in the United States at the moment
Out of nowhere and without much fanfare, Zynga has launched a brand new free game Borderlands mobile game.
Borderlands Mobile was suddenly released by the mobile gaming company on Thursday this week, somewhat by chance, and is developed by Star Wars: Hunters studio, NaturalMotion.
The spinoff game, which Zynga calls a “limited-time test,” doesn’t have a fancy title and is currently only available on the App Store for iPhone users in the United States. I tried to download the game in the UK, but encountered a region lock issue.

“We are still exploring ways to introduce Borderlands to new audiences,” a Zynga spokesperson said in a statement to IGN.
“Zynga’s NaturalMotion studio is currently conducting a limited-time test for an untitled game. Borderlands mobile project, with Gearbox providing creative guidance on the franchise’s design, history and lore. We hope players enjoy this news Borderlands experience and I look forward to their feedback.”
No trailer or gameplay has been shared for Borderlands Mobile at the moment, but based on App Store screenshots it appears to feature characters of the largest Borderlands franchise, like Tiny Tina, Moxxi, a Psycho and Claptrap.
We know that the game is an “action-packed shooter” like the previous one. Borderlands games, introduces Vault Hunters and “brings chaos, art style and gun shooting adventure to mobile for the first time!”
“Hunt down legendary loot and upgrade your abilities to personalize the way you play,” the description reads. “Use everything from guns to rocket launchers to make your enemies never want to cross your path! Master devastating action gameplay fully optimized for mobile. Battle skags, bandits, and bosses as you complete 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 stays online and spreads to Android devices as well as other regions.
