Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently hinted at a potential new addition to the Borderlands franchise, sparking excitement among fans. This news, coupled with the upcoming Borderlands movie, has the gaming community abuzz.
In a recent interview, Pitchford subtly revealed that Gearbox is working on a highly anticipated project, stating, "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." He further teased a possible announcement before the year concludes, adding, "I have the biggest and best team...working on what we know is exactly what our fans want." While details remain under wraps, his enthusiasm is undeniable. He also mentioned the studio is actively developing several major projects.
The anticipation for a new Borderlands game is reaching fever pitch. Borderlands 3, released in 2019, was critically acclaimed for its engaging story, humor, diverse characters, and compelling gameplay. The 2022 spin-off, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, further solidified the franchise's appeal. Pitchford's comments have amplified the excitement, perfectly timed with the upcoming Borderlands movie.
The Borderlands movie, a star-studded affair featuring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, and directed by Eli Roth, promises to bring the vibrant world of Pandora to the big screen on August 9, 2024. This cinematic adaptation has the potential to significantly expand the Borderlands universe.
