2016: Battleborn launched and was played by millions of gamers. Learned tons of valuable lessons and team continues to iterate.
2016: Founded a new studio in Quebec, Canada developing new a great new video game I hope to announce in 2017.
2017 Goals: Push quality with in-house development of beloved + new franchises; succeed at starting most developer friendly indie publisher.
2017: I wish our dream to entertain grows stronger and the combination of experience and passion makes us better at it.
To everyone who has supported us – thank you! You are why we fight!
But if you happen to be someone we have ever failed to entertain, we will keep fighting to bring you joy and hope to succeed for you too!
I’m excited to move beyond 2016 and into the future! 2016 was a nice year for Gearbox, but I believe 2017 and beyond will be even better.
Do you think Gearbox will enjoy a good 2017?
