Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford teases Borderlands 4
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has teased the next Borderlands game again.
Posting on X following heavy criticism of the newly released Borderlands film, which has got off to a slow start at the box office, Pitchford said Gearbox is hard at work on the next entry in the looter shooter series.
“So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done,” he wrote. “I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard four you on what’s next….”

“I’m confident that our fans are going to be very, very happy with the next video game project when we are ready to announce it. And I will tell you that we’re not going to be making people wait for a long time before we announce it.”
