After Less Than 3 Months, $15 Gets You Battleborn and More in a Humble Bundle
If the discounts on Battleborn weren't steep enough around the time Overwatch launched, you can now get it for way less: The latest Humble Bundle has it--and a bunch of other 2K games--for only $15.
To be clear, that's not $15 for each of these games; that price gets you Battleborn and a handful of others. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Civilization V, Mafia II, and more are included, while you can also opt to pay less to get only certain games.
The full lineup follows below.
Pay $1 or more:
Beat the average (currently $6.59):
Pay $15 or more:
That Battleborn is already discounted to this degree--and thrown into a Humble Bundle, no less--doesn't speak well for the game's performance, at least on PC.
Shortly after its launch, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said it was too soon to tell if it would reach Borderlands-levels of success, though he did claim the "initial results are very encouraging." It saw a peak player count of only 12,000 on Steam in its launch month of May according to third-party site Steam Charts, and that figure has dropped to just over 1,300 in the last month.
Battleborn was released just weeks prior to Blizzard's Overwatch. While the games are fairly different (Battleborn has a campaign and its multiplayer more strongly resembles a MOBA), they're similar enough to draw comparisons that aren't kind to Gearbox's game.
For just $15, though, it is worth a look, particularly with how much else you get with it. For more on Battleborn, check out GameSpot's review.
