The next entry in the Borderlands series is reportedly being revealed soon.
According to eXputer, 2K is set to reveal Borderlands 4 at Summer Game Fest on June 7. There’s also a possibility that it could be announced before the show, followed by a more in-depth look at the showcase, but it hasn’t been confirmed.
Earlier this month, 2K announced that it would be unveiling the “next iteration of a 2K Games franchise,” and fans speculated that it would be Borderlands 4. There have been several rumors that the game has been in development for a while.
Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderland 2 leaked late last year through a game developer’s LinkedIn profile. A voice actor also placed Borderlands 4 on their resume, but Gearbox clarified that it was a misunderstanding.
There’s also a Borderlands movie currently in the works that’s slated to release in August, and timing both the movie and game series close to each other is a common strategy for brand awareness.
Earlier this year, Gearbox was acquired by 2K’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive. Gearbox was previously under ownership of Embracer Group, which has since been downsizing and cutting games after its reported failed deal with a Saudi investment fund.
