Recently, Take-Two, the publishers of the popular Borderlands series, hinted at an upcoming installment in the franchise. This announcement came alongside news of their acquisition of Gearbox, the developers behind Borderlands. While the details remain scarce, it is clear that there are exciting developments on the horizon for fans of the looter shooter series.
Take-Two’s reference to an “active development on the next installment in Borderlands series” has sparked speculation among shareholders and fans alike. The statement, while not a formal announcement, indicates that Gearbox is hard at work on a new entry in the franchise. With the success of Borderlands 3, which was the fastest-selling game for Take-Two’s subcompany 2K, the anticipation for a new game is palpable.
Borderlands 3, released in 2019, garnered critical acclaim and sold over 19 million copies worldwide. Despite the delays in the Borderlands movie and the absence of a new main series game in recent years, the franchise remains a powerhouse in the gaming industry. Take-Two’s recent announcement also revealed that Gearbox has multiple projects in the works, including sequels to Borderlands and Homeworld, as well as a new intellectual property.
In addition to the mainline Borderlands series, Gearbox is working on several other interactive entertainment projects. One of these projects is Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, a spin-off that could potentially expand into its own series. The announcement also mentioned sequels to Risk Of Rain and Brothers In Arms, two popular franchises in the gaming world. However, the mention of Duke Nukem raised some concerns among fans, given the history of the franchise.
As fans eagerly await more information on the upcoming Borderlands game and other projects from Gearbox, it is clear that the future of the franchise is bright. With the Borderlands movie set to release in August, it could serve as the perfect platform to reveal more details about the new game. While there may be a wait ahead, the promise of new adventures in the Borderlands universe is enough to keep fans excited and engaged.
The announcement of a new Borderlands game in development signals a promising future for the beloved franchise. With Gearbox at the helm and the support of Take-Two, fans can expect more thrilling adventures, lovable characters, and explosive gameplay in the years to come. Stay tuned for further updates on the next installment in the Borderlands series and other exciting projects from Gearbox.
