Gearbox has just announced Borderlands 3 at PAX East, revealing the long-awaited sequel that the developer has apparently been working on for over five years. The game will feature new Vault Hunters as well as a cast of returning characters, including Lilith, Brick, Claptrap, Mad Moxxi, and Tiny Tina.

A pair of new villains - possibly brother and sister - are also in the frame while you can expect more strains of fearsome skags to shoot, and 'one billion guns' with which to shoot them. Gearbox never being one to hold back, has even added a gun with legs for this one. There are also hovering vehicles and those motorbikes like Steamboy or Wolfenstein II, where you sit inside a big single wheel. You know the ones.

Borderlands Game of the Year Edition will see the first game remastered too (we'll do a separate post on that soon, alongside a free UHD pack for The Handsome Collection on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, due to arrive next week. Borderlands 3, meanwhile, can be checked out in the announcement trailer below. Expect more info on the game on 3rd April.

  • I hope they stick to the formula which made borderlands a great series and not turn it into a "game as a dis-service".
  • Also, the game has been confirmed to NOT have Battle Royale :D Now let's just hope they're not loading the game with microtransactions.
  • The worlds look massive, but I hope it's not miles of empty areas. Also @2:45 Rhys from Tales is in this :)
  • @1&2: I don't expect 3 to be any different from the other games in the series in that respect and will stick to the Golden Keys and Shift Codes :).
  • I am hyped. GUNS WITHS LEGS? Hell Yeah
  • I am officially cautiously optimistic.
  • Sweet! I cannot wait for this and the BL1 remaster to come out.
  • The game will have battle royale. Even if it's a joke and just 99 meat puppets that pop out with 1 hp and you win in about 10 seconds side mission thing . We will get to call randy pitchford a liar again
  • Welp, Gearbox went and announced the next GOTY. That presentation at PAX was just filled to the brim with awesome.
  • @3 I noticed Rhys from Tales was in it I'm glad they have included them in the main series and it wasn't just a brush under the carpet side story, maybe paying respect to Telltale Games for a job well done. This is the only loot shooter I need, just waited for it to become official, I'm not disappointed
  • @8 Your example would be a side mission still, not a BR. Only it would be a BR is if they let 50-100 actual people join in on that mission at the same time. There seems to be a lot of people on this site who are wanting a BR mode in BL3, despite being contradictory and saying they’d hate. Yet they talk about it being an “eventuality” for BL3 so much that, if a BR isn’t included in BL3, these same people would probably be pissed about it lol
