Gearbox CEO Hints at New Borderlands Game and Movie Release
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has hinted at a new Borderlands game, generating significant excitement among fans. He recently stated, "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 teased a potential announcement before the year's end, adding, "I have the biggest and best team that I’ve ever had working on what we know is exactly what our fans want from us."
While specifics remain undisclosed, Pitchford confirmed multiple projects are underway at Gearbox. This news coincides with the upcoming Borderlands movie release, adding to the anticipation.
The last major installment, Borderlands 3 (2019), and its spin-off, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (2022), were both critically acclaimed, fueling fan desire for a sequel. Pitchford's comments have reignited this excitement.
The Borderlands movie, starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, and directed by Eli Roth, premieres August 9, 2024. This film adaptation is expected to introduce Pandora's world to a wider audience and potentially expand the franchise's lore.
