Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has teased the next Borderlands game again.
Posting on X following heavy criticism of the newly released Borderlands film, which has got off to a slow start at the box office, Pitchford said Gearbox is hard at work on the next entry in the looter shooter series.
Publisher 2K confirmed that the next Borderlands game was in active development earlier this year, after it announced that it had acquired Gearbox Entertainment from Embracer Group for $460 million.
Speaking to GamesRadar last month, Pitchford suggested fans wouldn’t have to wait long for more information about it.
Pitchford teased that an announcement about the next Borderlands game could come “before the end of the year” and “maybe sooner”.
The most recent mainline series entry, 2019’s Borderlands 3, is the publisher’s fastest-selling title and has sold over 20 million copies.
2012’s Borderlands 2 is 2K’s top-selling game since the label’s inception seven years earlier, with over 29 million copies sold. »
