Borderlands 3 not in development yet

4.3
According to Randy Pitchford, Head of Gearbox Software, development of the expected titan of a game known as Borderlands 3 is not yet underway.

Pitchford has big ideas for the title and based on his comments they are just too lofty for the studio at this time. While he made it clear that they are not done with the series as a whole they cannot just start development at this time.

When you think of what Borderlands 3 should be, it should be massive. It should be bigger and better than Borderlands 2. It should carry forward the story. It's probably crazy multiplatform, depending on timing. It would have to be a next-gen game and a current-gen game, if it was coming at any time in the reasonably near future.Randy Pitchford


In a rather refreshing tone he said the following concerning the title, "I'm not going to fuck around with you like Valve does with Half-Life 3."

What do you think of Gearbox actually taking the time and consideration to make a quality sequel versus what some studios have done and rush a sequel to cash in?

-Kieran- Never even heard of a new BL yet lol. If one does get made, i will buy it.
Probably won't be released until 2015/2016 now


I would say in the middle of 2015 or after.

Hard_With_Style Respect for no BS. Borderlands is one of my favorite game series if not my favorite. I would hope they take more time on the game for the quality play. Hopefully it is gonna be EPIC.
Amen to that, it was great on lastgen. Imagine what it will be like on current/nextgen


I know. I didn't think there was much of a difference between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. But there is a MAJOR difference. Especially that new UFC game coming out for the Xbox One. That is gonna be crazy. Shit looks real.

Hopefully they will really improve the game taking more time to make it.

NBC I can't wait for this on next gen


Hopefully they make it awesome! Unlike how call of duty rushes their games out...


They have changed their development cycle to 3 years. So you have to take into account that they are improving.


They're still gonna suck, it's just an excuse for their crappy repetitive games.


You're an unintelligent mess.
