The recent Borderlands movie has been a complete critical failure, but the CEO of developer Gearbox has hinted that the team is working “extra hard” on Borderlands 4.
Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, the studio that makes the Borderlands games, tweeted, “So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done. I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard four you on what’s next….”
As reported by Push Square, that “four” likely isn’t a typo, and is probably a hint that Borderlands 4 is in the works. Borderlands 3 came out in 2019, and while we have had some spin-offs since then, fans would like a new numbered entry in the series. If you want to jump into the series, Borderlands 3 was added to PlayStation Plus last month.
The Borderlands games are about a group of mercenaries called Vault Hunters, traversing the alien world of Pandora as they attempt to access an ancient vault supposedly full of valuable loot. The film’s plot is more like that of a Fallout game, with the group instead looking for the kidnapped daughter of a corporate magnate.
While the Take-Two CEO seemed unfazed by the poor reception to the film, Pitchford was less magnanimous on Twitter, blocking “a bunch of truly nasty accounts” and even saying he things journalist Paul Tassi “was being a dick and so him I blocked on purpose.” It seems he was blockign people who were being critical of the film.
In other news, The Witcher 4 will see Geralt return to the series, he just won’t be the main character of the upcoming game.
