In Borderlands 3, a release date is currently in question. A mysterious tweet from the official game page showed a launch date of September 13, 2019. However, the tweet was quickly deleted.
What was shown? A tweet displayed September 13 as the release date for Borderlands 3. This post was already deleted after a few minutes.
Fans are now speculating whether this is the official release date or just an April Fool’s joke. The topic is definitely generating a lot of conversation.
What is known about the tweet regarding the release date
The tweet says: The deleted post stated “Mayhem comes on September 13. Pre-order for the Gold Weapon Skins Pack!”
“Mask of Mayhem” was the title of the first teaser trailer for Borderlands 3 and the mentioned timing in September could indeed be fitting.
A second tweet showed a short clip from Borderlands 3. There is a hint about the Epic Games Store visible.
Will Borderlands be released on a Friday the 13th?
Why the timing fits: Gearbox’s CEO Randy Pitchford responded to a question on Twitter stating “Borderlands 3 will come sooner than you think,” which certainly supports September 13. This date is indeed earlier than many players assume.
It is also a date when one would normally expect the annual release of Destiny. It is quite possible that Borderlands 3 claims this spot in the gaming year as a challenge for itself.
September 13, 2019, is a Friday – it would fit Gearbox to release their shooter on a Friday the 13th.
What speaks against the release date? Many players are skeptical, as the tweet was published on April 1. One user writes in response to the post: “Don’t believe anything until April 3, friends!” and receives a lot of agreement.
Nonetheless, one should then ask why the post was deleted so quickly if it was only an April Fool’s joke.
When will we learn more? Gearbox has already announced for April 3, this Wednesday, further information for the third part of the successful series.
There will also be talk about the release date. We will find out whether the Twitter post was just an April Fool’s joke or if it was indeed posted by mistake.
