For a big game from 2K, more development time is now needed. Is this referring to Borderlands 3?
Earlier this year, Take-Two stated that they want to release a “highly anticipated title” by March 2019. Fans speculated about the sequel to the shooter Borderlands, which has already delighted many gamers in the past with its dark humor.
It seems we may have to wait longer for Borderlands 3, as the unannounced game is now supposed to be released by March 2020 at the latest.
Borderlands 3 Release – So when is it now?
In the recently released financial report, Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, again talked about this highly anticipated game, one of the biggest 2K franchises. However, this is now expected to come after March 2019, in fiscal year 2020.
Although the game is not mentioned by name here, fans suspect that this is a reference to Borderlands 3. There are many indications for this. Gearbox repeatedly conveys: We are working with 400 people on Borderlands 3. However, the game has not yet been officially announced, so the name is never mentioned.
What is the new timeframe? The fiscal year 2020 runs from April 1, 2019 to March 2020. At some point during this period, the title may be released.
Why was the game postponed? Zelnick did not provide specific reasons. Perhaps he did not want to give away too many details or hints about the title. It is only said that the title is being given more development time.
No news on Borderlands 3 at E3 2018
There were many rumors that Borderlands 3 would have a huge presence at the upcoming E3 2018. But these dreams have now burst. In a series of tweets, the Gearbox head explained that Borderlands 3 is not represented at E3 2018. This was later confirmed by another Gearbox employee.
It is unclear when Borderlands 3 will be officially confirmed and when fans will finally receive more details about the “highly anticipated title of one of the largest 2K franchises.” Until then, the community sustains itself with small teasers about the game. Borderlands really wants a flamethrower from Elon Musk.
