Randy Pitchford, founder of Gearbox, stirred the gaming community in an interview with hints of what seems to be an upcoming game in the beloved Borderlands series.
While Gearbox, a subsidiary of Take-Two, has not officially confirmed a new Borderlands game, Pitchford’s comments suggest that an announcement could be imminent.
“We’re working on something,” admitted Pitchford, “and I think people that love Borderlands are going to be very excited about what we’re working on.” This tease comes after Gearbox’s acquisition by Take-Two, sparking curiosity about the direction and future projects of the company.
Borderlands, known for its unique blend of first-person shooter action and role-playing elements, has cultivated a massive following since its inception. Pitchford’s hint raises expectations and assures fans that the franchise remains a priority under the new ownership. The series fans eagerly anticipate more details, which Pitchford indicates may come sooner than later, adding an air of suspense and excitement to the wait.
Adding to the excitement, the upcoming Borderlands movie has set the stage for what Pitchford has dubbed the beginning of a “Borderlands Cinematic Universe.” The film features Cate Blanchett as the notorious outlaw Lilith, who returns to the planet Pandora to find a missing girl. Alongside characters such as Roland, played by Kevin Hart, and Tiny Tina, portrayed by Ariana Greenblatt, Lilith’s journey unveils hidden powers and challenges, integrating well-known elements from the games with new cinematic twists.
This integration hints at the expansive potential of the Borderlands franchise, both in gaming and in film, promising a thrilling blend of adventure and storytelling for fans.
