The State of Looter Shooters in 2026

Looter shooters aren’t hitting the same anymore, and in this video, I break down why that’s happening from a personal perspective. From the golden days of Borderlands to the staying power of Warframe and Destiny 2, we look at what made these games work and why newer titles struggle to keep players engaged. I talk about issues like unrewarding grind, lack of endgame, failed live-service launches, and copycat design that misses the core of what made the genre fun. This is an honest take on where looter shooters stand today, including the biggest “what if” with Anthem and why the genre still hasn’t fully recovered. #warframe #gaming #lootershooter #destiny2 #borderlands #thedivision
