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?

Never really like Borderlands games so this doesn't bother me much but at least they're taking their time to make the game and not just trying to rush a release like 90% of other game developers now.

Attributes They probably will just make this a fast made game and have a lot of people buy it and end up not being very good. It's not on my list of games to buy!


They are not the people who make COD, so that won't happen. If you would have read the post you would know it will be a while before the game comes out.

On topic, That kinda sucks -_- I have been waiting for B3 for a while now. Looks like I have to wait a few more years

-CP Should be out in just under 2 years.


That might be pushing it, I mean they barely have ideas on the drawing board. Not to mention development hasn't started yet.

Did you even read the topic or did you just post as fast as you could to be the first one to reply?

On topic though... I think it's great Gearbox is going to be taking their time, that's what I like about them they don't rush things.

Well this is disappointing. Hopefully the extra time they take developing it makes the game better.
