A New Borderlands Game Is In Development, Gearbox Reveals

It’s been nearly five years since Borderlands 3 was released, and fans have been waiting to hear news about the next sequel. And since the Borderlands movie is out this week, gamers are once again looking for any word about the follow-up. The good news is that Gearbox Software has finally confirmed that the next game is in development.

During an interview with the Epic Games store, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford was specifically asked if the company was working on the sequel. Pitchford replied, “Of course we are. There’s a moment when we’re ready, and we can and will announce something because that’s the moment to make a public promise. We’re working on lots of Borderlands. We’re working on lots of Brothers in Arms.”

That was a more overt hint about Borderlands 4 than the previous update that Pitchford provided in July 2024 when he said are there are “so many great things coming with Borderlands.” At the time, there also rumors about a sequel to the spin-off title, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. As for the next Brothers in Arms game, Gearbox conformed that title was in development back in 2021.

Additionally, Pitchford hinted that Gearbox’s other properties are also in play for new games, including Risk of Rain and Duke Nukem. It’s possible that Gearbox may make some announcements during Gamescom 2024 later this month.
