Gearbox CEO Hints at a New Borderlands Game and the Upcoming Movie
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford recently hinted at a new Borderlands game, generating significant excitement among fans. In a recent interview, he teased, "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 might arrive before the year's end. Pitchford emphasized the size and talent of the team working on the project, assuring fans it aligns perfectly with their expectations.
While specifics remain under wraps, the CEO's comments, coupled with his mention of multiple projects in development, point towards a significant upcoming release. The anticipation is heightened by the imminent release of the Borderlands movie.
The Borderlands franchise's continued success, following the critically acclaimed Borderlands 3 (2019) and the well-received spin-off Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (2022), fuels the enthusiasm for a new installment. The series' engaging narrative, humor, diverse characters, and addictive gameplay have cemented its place as a fan favorite.
The upcoming Borderlands movie, premiering August 9, 2024, adds another layer to the excitement. Starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, and directed by Eli Roth, the film promises to bring the vibrant world of Pandora to the big screen, potentially expanding the franchise's reach and lore.
With a new game on the horizon and the movie's release, the Borderlands universe is poised for a major resurgence.
