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. Pitchford emphasized the size and skill of his team, stating they are working on "exactly what our fans want."
Multiple Projects Underway at Gearbox
Pitchford confirmed that Gearbox is actively developing multiple projects, adding to the anticipation surrounding the potential new Borderlands game. While details remain scarce, his comments have ignited speculation among fans.
Borderlands Movie Premiere and Franchise Future
The news of a possible new game arrives just as the Borderlands movie prepares for its August 9, 2024 premiere. Starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, and directed by Eli Roth, the film is expected to introduce the Borderlands universe to a wider audience and potentially lay the groundwork for future franchise expansions. The last major Borderlands installment, Borderlands 3 (2019), and the spin-off Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (2022), were both critically acclaimed, setting a high bar for any future releases.
The combination of a potential new game and the upcoming movie promises an exciting future for the Borderlands franchise.
