The conclusion of Battleborn's updates is nigh with the upcoming patch being the last one that it'll receive, but it's leaving players with some sweet Borderlands skins as a parting gift.

As confirmed by Gearbox back in September, no more updates will ship for Battleborn following this Fall Update. The servers will be kept afloat, so if you're still invested in the team-based game, you don't have to pack up shop just yet.

Battleborn's end comes just over a year after it was released in May 2016. The MOBA-styled hero shooter was actually received pretty well when it was released, but it simply released at the wrong time. Amid other similar games, most notably Overwatch, Battleborn found itself lost in the shuffle and has now run its course in a little over a year.

The good news here with the end of Battleborn support is that the team is moving on to something new, something big. That mysterious game is all but certain to be Borderlands 3, but Gearbox is staying tight-lipped for now with just a few hopeful signs here and there.

But for those who aren't done with Battleborn just yet, here are the new skins and highlights from the latest update:
