Gearbox is planning to release the much-anticipated sequel next year, according to sources.
A source tells Eurogamer that Gearbox has been developing the sequel for quite some time and an official announcement of the project can be expected soon.
In an April interview, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford spoke about the future of Borderlands and what the intentions of the developer are.
“I can tell you that myself and everyone at Gearbox LOVES Borderlands and we have been absolutely thrilled at the reception it’s gotten from our customers and the fact that it’s sold over four million units nowâ€
He further added, “So you can see that we supported the game like mad with lots of great DLC and you can imagine that we’re going to want to do a lot of things with Borderlands in the future. But we’ve only announced what we’ve announced. If we haven’t announced it, it doesn’t exist. “
“Plans and efforts towards the future always exist with a forward looking studio like Gearbox, of course,” he continued, “but brainstorming and blue sky research and development should never be allowed to be construed into a customer promise.
“A customer promise should not be made until that promise becomes sufficiently clear and ready and the commitment is there to deliver upon the promise.”
