Borderlands has been gone for a while, except for its lack luster prequel and it's Tales From series, so personally I thought we wouldn't be getting a third one. Then out of nowhere, BAM, a sequel has finally been announced! Revealing it at PAX, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said "It's no secret, obviously there's going to be another Borderlands" followed by "We don't even know if we're going to call it that. We could call it Borderlands 4 for all we know".
So we could be looking at a skip over Borderlands 3 straight to 4, and with the games sense of humour, that could well be true. To add on to this, it appears that artist Sergi Brosa has confirmed he is also working on the game:
Whilst at PAX they also discussed some of the ideas they are throwing around in the stage of production they are in, that one character they want to bring in is Mechanic Scooters son, Scooper.
The studio also says that Battleborn is going to have plenty of Borderlands easter eggs, albeit from the older games in the series. However they did discuss at the panel about adding in some easter eggs for Borderlands 3 in DLC that is coming to Battleborn.
Obviously none of this is written in stone as they wish to get Battleborn and its DLC out before starting the production of the next Borderlands but they are very much in the idea stage. Great news for anyone who's a fan of the series. Should we hear more, we'll keep you up to date!
