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?

Sucks that it will take a while but I'm really happy to see that they are determined to make the game a lot better than the previous ones and continue with development!

Borderlands 2 Improved a ton on Borderlands 1, I wonder what they'll add this third time around.

This will be cool when they start making it.

Respect. Gearbox isn't milking Borderlands and they're playing safe with waiting for the old-gen to have less of a demand. I like it.

Preferred their first one. Can't wait for number 3 though! Going to be amazing.

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


Exactly. I bet we won't see BL3 for another 3-4 years. But I don't mind, like he said it has to be bigger and better and that takes time.


I only said that because it fits their release timeline.

I agree with the timeline but based on the response, under 2 years is highly unlikely.

Sad to hear. Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games of all time for my 360. Hopefully the Borderlands series continues for many years!
