So Uh, Are We Ever Going To See 'Borderlands 3' Out Of Gearbox?

It feels like the time has been right for Borderlands 3 to arrive the past few years, yet Gearbox won't even utter its name. With recent explosive legal developments, are we ever going to see it arrive?

I shutter to think how a new Borderlands wound function in this modern era of gaming with so many companies finding new ways to nickel and dime consumers

Remember the Gold Keys from the last two games? They're free as long as you keep checking Gearbox's Facebook and Twitter for Shift Codes. Guarantee we'll be paying for those keys in the next game. If you really want to know what to look forward to with microtransactions look no further than 2K's recent handling of it on their other games...

I think this will be a next gen game, so we won't see it until PS5 and Xbox Two are announced.

Its' 2K and Gearbox... My god, mtx in this game will be massive..

EazyC1914d ago

That is so true, Borderlands's formula (RNG loot) is ripe for microtransaction type bollocks, too.

I think gaming is moving past the borderlands design... Gearbox seems like a mess of a company.

Lol, don't tell all the gamers that supported borderlands 2 on psvr that. Borderlands has a great formula. I just hope they don't nickle and dime us!

Except you're expecting the modern Gearbox to do that.

The Gearbox of today after Duke Nukem Forever, Alien Coloneal Marine and Battleborn is a very different company from the one that created Borderland and Borderland 2. I would even say the Pre-quel was done by a very different company (Which it actually was).

Personally I don't think they can deliver on Borderlands 3, at least not the game everyone expects, but they'll try.

I have a feeling that Gearbox were all set to reveal Borderlands 3 at last years E3 show, but a certain game called Rage 2 was leaked before the show. I believe the similar gameplay and superior graphics, worried Gearbox and they realised B3 needed more work and improvements.. because their game would look poor in contrast. When it is finally revealed, I hope it isn't weighed down by microtransactions.. Gearbox sound like they need some serious cash injection. This game is probably the last chance saloon for Gearbox.

Hopefully Borderlands 2 VR gave them a little needed shot in the arm. I would love to see this series continue.

If they weren't going to release it last year, they weren't going to show it at E3.

The wait for Borderlands 3 continues

After the recent accusations of it's CEO I doubt it.

Pocketpair Studio Boss Calls Out Tencent For Developing A Palworld Clone

The game in question appears to be dubbed Auroria on Steam, which shares a plethora of similarities with Palworld.

Inverno18h ago

No offense but Palworld isn't that original either, with that said… ew Tencent no thank you. I love the survival genre but all these half baked early access games have ruined the genre for me.

exputers3h ago

>Palworld isn't that original either

Can't disagree with that, but it did spin the Pokemon dynamic in a unique way, you gotta give Pocketpair that. Now by doing so, prepare for a ton of Palworld clones, both on PC and mobile.
