Gearbox Software has reaffirmed that it’s working on a new Borderlands game, although development on the sequel won’t kick off until work on Battleborn and its downloadable has wrapped.
Speaking at PAX East over the weekend, Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford said that it isn’t even sure what the game will be called yet, but said it’s no secret there’s “going to be another Borderlands.”
“We don’t even know if we’re going to call it [Borderland 3]”, added Pitchford. “We could call it Borderlands 4 for all we know.”
Elsewhere, members of the Battleborn team including Scott Kester (art director) and Mikey Neumann (creative lead) confirmed they will be contributing to the new Borderlands game.
“I did this whole Scooter thing, then I pitch-shifted it up like seven semitones so it sounds like a chipmunk and it was the funniest thing I’d ever heard,” said Neumann.
Finally, Pitchford revealed that we can expect to see a number of Easter Eggs related to Borderlands featured in Battleborn.
“There’s already a lot of Borderlands Easter eggs in Battleborn,” he said. “But they’re all from previous Borderlands games. So what if we put Easter eggs for future stuff in the DLC?”
Borderlands was released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2009, with the sequel arriving in 2012. The most recent entry came in the shape of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, which was also remastered for PlayStation 4 alongside Borderlands 2 as part of The Handsome Collection last year.
