Borderlands, the popular game franchise, is on the brink of a major announcement. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the next installment, and according to Gearbox's Randy Pitchford, it's about to happen.
After confirming that another Borderlands game was in active development, and with a previous leak hinting at Borderlands 4, it's no surprise that all eyes are on Gearbox for an official announcement. The only question now is when it will happen. While there were rumors of a reveal at PAX East or Summer Game Fest, neither came to fruition. However, with the Borderlands movie set to release on August 9, it's a bit surprising that the game hasn't been announced yet. But fear not, as Pitchford has teased that news will be coming "sooner rather than later."
Pitchford also acknowledged that he hasn't done the best job of keeping the project a secret, saying, "Oh man, I don't think I've done a good enough job of hiding the fact that we're working on something. And I think people that love Borderlands are going to be very excited about what we're working on." He added, "Sooner rather than later, we're going to be talking about what we've been working on, and I can't wait."
As for when the announcement will happen, many are speculating that Gamescom, which takes place in August, could be the perfect time. While it's not known for big game announcements, it has been known to reveal some surprises. Plus, with the movie releasing that month, it would make sense to coincide the announcement with its release.
The Borderlands movie, directed by Eli Roth and starring big names like Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, has also sparked excitement for the franchise's future. Pitchford has even expressed his hopes for a "Borderlands Cinematic Universe."
But that's not the only project in the works for Gearbox. A leak has revealed a sequel to the spin-off game Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, and there could be even more on the horizon. Pitchford has previously described Borderlands 4 as "the greatest thing we've ever done."
With the massive success of Borderlands 3, it's no wonder fans are eagerly anticipating the next installment. And with the promise of more news coming soon, it's an exciting time for Borderlands fans. Keep an eye out for the big announcement and stay tuned for more updates.
