The US rap legend Ice T is putting himself in the conversation for the upcoming Borderlands 3. What’s behind it?
What’s the connection between Ice T and Borderlands 3? The legendary US rapper Ice T is now 61 years old. However, he still has a passion for video games, which he regularly showcases on social media. Just recently, he convinced skeptics of his connection to Destiny 2 with his max-level Guardian.
Now there are rumors about another looter-shooter. Ice T is being linked to the recently officially announced Borderlands 3 – and he himself is the source.
Is Ice T lending his voice to a Borderlands 3 character?
What’s it all about? It all started with a conversation on Twitter. There, Ice T once again commented on “Gaming Stuff”. He always introduces his posts about video games and related topics this way – a popular subject among many of his followers.
He wrote: “Gamer Stuff: There’s a rumor that I’m doing a voiceover in Borderlands.”
Shortly thereafter, the official Borderlands 3 account responded with: “Who would spread such a rumor?”
The interesting thing is: There were actually no rumors about a possible collaboration before this. Thus, Ice T brought himself into the game.
How likely is a collaboration? Although Ice T’s statement has not been confirmed, many fans see this conversation as a successful marketing gag meant to reveal the collaboration.
Because before the recent announcement, there were only rumors about Borderlands 3 for years. The manner of “revealing as a rumor” would fit well with this image and the humor of the Borderlands series, according to many fans.
Since the statement also came from Ice T himself, many fans believe he didn’t just make it for fun. Many would be excited about an appearance by the big rap icon in such a highly anticipated title.
A character that would fit Ice T or sounds like Ice T was not identifiable by fans in the reveal trailer for Borderlands 3.
This week should bring further details about Borderlands 3. Maybe there will be more information about a possible engagement of the rapper.
What do you think? Will Ice T have an appearance in Borderlands 3?
