Gearbox CEO Hints at New Borderlands Game, Fuels Excitement Alongside Upcoming Movie

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has hinted at a new installment in the popular Borderlands franchise, generating considerable buzz among fans. He recently stated, "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 suggested an announcement before the year's end, expressing immense enthusiasm for the project and his team's work.

While details remain scarce, Pitchford confirmed the studio is undertaking "big things" and multiple projects simultaneously. This fuels speculation about the nature and scope of the upcoming Borderlands title.

The anticipation for a new Borderlands game is heightened by the upcoming Borderlands movie, slated for release on August 9, 2024. Borderlands 3, released in 2019, and its spin-off, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (2022), both received critical acclaim, leaving fans eager for more. The movie, featuring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, promises to bring the vibrant world of Pandora to the big screen, potentially expanding the franchise's universe.

The film's premiere on August 9th, 2024, coincides perfectly with the growing excitement surrounding the potential game announcement, creating a perfect storm of Borderlands hype.
