Gearbox CEO Hints at New Borderlands Game and Movie Premiere
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently hinted at a new installment in the highly anticipated Borderlands series, generating significant excitement among fans. He alluded to multiple projects currently underway at the studio, 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 about what we're working on." He further teased that an announcement regarding the next game might arrive before the year's end.
While details remain scarce, Pitchford's comments suggest a significant development within the Borderlands franchise. This news comes alongside the upcoming release of the Borderlands movie.
The anticipation for a new Borderlands game is high, following the success of Borderlands 3 (2019) and the well-received spin-off, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (2022). Both titles were lauded for their compelling narratives, humor, diverse characters, and engaging gameplay.
The Borderlands movie, a star-studded affair featuring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, is set to premiere on August 9, 2024. Directed by Eli Roth, the film promises to bring the vibrant world of Pandora to the big screen, potentially expanding the franchise's lore and universe.
The combination of a potential new game announcement and the imminent movie release has created a perfect storm of excitement for Borderlands fans worldwide.
