The “Intro Cinematics” in the Borderlands franchise are legendary. It is now known which song accompanies the Intro Cinematic for Borderlands 3 . The Cinematic Intro itself has also been released.
Attention: We will show both the Intro Cinematic and the song throughout the article. If you want to enjoy this for the first time at the release of Borderlands 3 , you should refrain from reading the article. You will have to wait until Friday the 13th.
What is the Intro song this time? The song for Borderlands 3 is again by “The Heavy.” The UK band also did the song for Borderlands 2.
The Intro song for Borderlands 3 is called “I Put it on the Line.”
The band performed the song at the Borderlands 3 launch party in Dallas, Texas. We have embedded the video here.
In addition to the band’s performance, there are first images from the Intro Cinematic playing in the background.
Here is the Intro Cinematic for Borderlands 3 in the Twitch clip
What does the Intro Cinematic for Borderlands 3 show? In a Twitch livestream, the Intro Cinematic is also visible. It is somewhat annoying that the Twitch streamer is talking and laughing, but something is always going on.
The video starts in an overarching “I have a story to tell” comic style and then transitions to the dramatic action, where the individual characters from Borderlands 3 are introduced. Just like in the known intros.
What were the intros like in the past?
- In Borderlands 1, the intro song was by Cage the Elephant. The song was called “Ain’t no Rest for the wicked” and was a real earworm. Someone even remade the cinematic with “Apex Legends” characters.
- The intro of Borderlands 2 is one of the most famous intro cinematics in gaming. To the song “Short Change Hero” by The Heavy, Gearbox introduces its game, featuring the legendary scene on and in the train.
Both intros are considered fantastic cinematics with great songs that perfectly match the laconic “in your face” attitude of Borderlands.
We’ll see if the Intro Cinematic of Borderlands 3 will also find a warm place in the history books.
