Take Two has said that it has taken the difficult decision to pause development of Borderlands 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2. It is not clear if the project from 2K Games is being scrapped entirely or if they are working with Nintendo to help them get the game up and running to a satisfactory level. Borderlands 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 has suffered a few delays, but pausing development of the game is something else entirely.
“We made the difficult decision to pause development on that SKU,” Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis told Variety. “Our focus continues to be delivering quality post-launch content for players on the ongoing improvements to optimize the game. We’re continuing to collaborate closely with our friends at Nintendo. We have ‘PGA Tour 2K25’ coming out and ‘WWE 2K26’ [for Switch 2], and we’re incredibly excited about bringing more of our titles to that platform in the future.”

It clearly isn’t an hardware limitation fault, this is what happens when corporations become so greedy and lazy that optimization is an after thought and we keep relying on ai upscaling, people were right, Dlls is an amazing technology that it’s been used in the wrong way. Should have been something that helped low end systems to make things work not a necessity even for the most powerful devices
The way that’s worded it seems to give the impression that they’re using pause kindly, but it’s basically been scrapped. At least that’s the feeling I’m getting from what I read. It doesn’t sound hopeful but who knows.
So we had to see Randy’s stupid face on the Switch 2 Direct for nothing? Ugh…
Blame Take2 they enable this they bought the studio and keep him and now worse the Rockstar guys formers and Sam Houser are in the Epstein files accused of SA and there was a firing of Rockstar employees because of that
This is watchdogs for wii u all over again!
Game was a flop I feel like this confirms it
“Paused” for me means “canceled.” I remember Konami did the same with Castlevania on Dreamcast; the game was “paused” to give priority to other projects, but in the end, it was canceled
