The latest "Borderlands" game was released by Gearbox Software two years ago. With this, fans have been asking the developers if "Borderlands 3" is still happening. If the third installment is indeed still being considered, fans are then asking when it will be released. Up to now, no official statement has been issued by the company.
The last word that Gearbox Software stated happened back in April, when the developers announced that they have begun working on "Borderlands 3". However, after this delightful announcement, the hype has died down once again and fans have been questioning whether the developer's word should be taken seriously or not.
During this early development period of any game, developers usually release teasers that provide proof of concept to its fans. The developers may also release alpha versions of their respective games to ask for feedback from the early testers.
In the case of "Borderlands 3", however, the developers have not released any official material yet regarding the supposedly upcoming sequel. This worries many of the game's fans looking forward to a new game that would expand the series.
Due to the quietness of the developers on the actual game's progress, fans have been speculating that "Borderlands 3" may have been entirely cancelled already. As the 2017 target release is already fast approaching, the lack of updates from the developers is really not a good sign.
Possible Game Details
If "Borderlands 3" is indeed still happening, then fans have a lot to look forward to. Reports that remain hopeful regarding the game's fate have stated that the new game will be featuring new and returning characters. There would likely be a new villain and characters crossing over from other games in the "Borderlands" franchise.
With the developers being secretive about "Borderlands 3", details might be a lot surprising and interesting when the game does come out. It will surely feature an enhanced gameplay and graphic performance as expected of any sequel. Fans just have to be patient though, as the release date may be pushed back later than expected.
