Randy Pitchford seemingly uses Borderlands film criticism to tease the next game

As a dedicated fan of the Borderlands series since its inception, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation upon hearing Randy Pitchford‘s recent tease about the next mainline game likely being Borderlands 4. Having grown up with these vibrant, chaotic, and hilarious worlds, I’ve eagerly waited for each new installment, and the prospect of another adventure is truly exhilarating.


Despite some less-than-stellar performance for Lionsgate’s Borderlands movie at the box office and online discussions, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford hinted during a conversation that more Borderlands content is on the horizon, likely the next main installment in the series. Over the weekend, Pitchford subtly dropped this news, revealing that it might just be Borderlands 4 being developed, following earlier confirmations of a new game in production.

In a final tweet, after soliciting opinions about the Borderlands movie from the internet community, Gearbox Software’s Pitchford summarized his experience: Having received both constructive criticism and dismissals from some users, he chose to view the feedback in a favorable light, interpreting it as a sign of engagement and passion among fans.

As a dedicated gamer with years of Borderlands under my belt, I must admit, it’s heartwarming to hear that the passion we pour into our gaming sessions resonates with you more than some of Hollywood’s most renowned films. I’m utterly flattered and truly grateful for your appreciation. We’re putting in the extra hours to ensure the next chapter of our Borderlands adventure will leave you even more thrilled!

In simpler terms, the troubled Borderlands movie might not have provided a clear message about the future of the franchise, but at least creator Pitchford seems to have clarified what’s next for Borderlands. It appears that instead of a spinoff game, we can expect another main installment in the series, as opposed to Borderlands 4 or another spinoff like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Given that Gearbox was acquired by Take-Two Interactive, it was already known that a new Borderlands was in development, but its nature was uncertain.

As a fervent admirer, it appears we’re gradually unveiling the contours of what’s to come. What lingers now is the eagerly anticipated reveal from Pitchford and Gearbox about Borderlands 4. Keep your eyes peeled as we stay vigilant for further developments on this exciting saga.
