2K and Gearbox Software have announced a partnership with Conan O’Brien and Team Coco to host a Clueless Gamer segment playing Borderlands 4 to support NEXT for AUTISM.
Running until April 15, the CharityBuzz is hosting an auction for fans to bid on the chance to play with Conan O’Brien and co-host Aaron Bleyaert to play 2K and Gearbox Software’s upcoming title, Borderlands 4 during the Team Coco segment, Clueless Gamer. All the proceeds from the bids will go toward NEXT for AUTISM, a foundation focusing on helping many people with Autism, from providing programs for children to helping improve employment for adults.
