Fans of the series were expecting a sequel title as in Borderlands 3. Many were disappointed when Borderlands 3 was not coming at E3 2018, while also worrying rumors about the publisher pushing the release till 2020. From this point, fans were left unsure if the game would be delayed, as there was no information coming out form the developers.
It has been six years since the last title came in the series; Borderlands 2 was released in September of 2012 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Since then, Gearbox and its partners have released a few spinoffs and add-ons that include Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Tales from the Borderlands, and a VR version of Borderlands 2.
Now it seems that Borderlands 3 is finally coming out, and Gearbox Software is expected to feature “never before seen reveals, exclusives and surprises.” If not a release date, we can expect a lot of details coming for the game, and any announcement for the third title in the series will be welcomed by many.
