Pitchford Denies Borderlands 3 in Development

borderlands-3-logo

We soon might see Borderlands back in the spotlight. A big announcement has just come from the head of Gearbox that has got some quite excited.

“When you think of what Borderlands 3 should be, it should be massive, it should be bigger and better than Borderlands 2. It should carry forward the story. It’s probably crazy multiplatform, depending on timing. It would have to be a next-gen game and a current-gen game, if it was coming at any time in the reasonably near future.” -Randy Pitchford

So there is work going into another one-of-a-kind and a must play Borderlands game, and yet in the same breath, hinted at lateral movement.

“We are not working on Borderlands 3. That is unqualified. We have more to do in the franchise, but no there isn’t a Borderlands 3.” -Randy Pitchford

So what’s going on? It seems like it’s not a ‘run of the mill’ sequel to Borderlands 2. Are they planning to bring out greater DLCs or a large expansion pack? They just released one in honour of Valentine’s Day, fittingly called Wedding Day Massacre. A more hopeful speculation has been floating around that there may be a MMO on the way.

Gearbox is working toward something great for Borderlands, they just don’t know what it is yet. I guess nobody knows what it means, but it certainly is provocative. Luckily, Randy intends to keep us all in the know, by leaving clues to the next vault.  I just finished playing Borderlands 2 for the second time and I am quite excited to see what will come next.

To kick things off, the Ferrari and Jaguar line are available as of today.

Here are some more details on what to expect:

Starting today there are new cars from Ferrari and Jaguar. The Ferrari Pack features the anniversary editions of the F40 1987 and F50 1995 models – at the time when both were released, they were each the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car that Ferrari sold to the public. The Jaguar Pack includes the XJ220 and the Jaguar C-X75 Prototype – the hybrid-electric two-seater was named in honor of Jaguar’s 75th Anniversary.

But these aren’t the only new cars that will be hitting the streets of Redview County in the coming weeks. Fans will soon learn more about the upcoming Lamborghini Pack, featuring the limited edition of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo, and the Need for Speed Movie Pack, which will feature cars from the upcoming blockbuster movie, including the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, the GTA Spano, and the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722.

The full DLC schedule can be found below along with two shiny trailers for the cars out today (you can check out our own review as well while you’re at it), with dates that include the Playstation 4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and Origin releases. Rev up your engines, Need for Speed fans – as a lot more is on the way.

Level 5 exploring idea of Yokai Watch localization

yokai-watch-01
Level 5 Games have tweeted out earlier today asking their fans whether or not they would like to see Yokai Watch, an RPG for the 3DS, to be localized for the United States and Europe.

Interestingly Level 5 recently trademarked the term ‘Yo-Kai Watch’ in the United States back in January. The game follows a young boy named Keita who accidentally discovers a ghost named Whisper. Whisper gives him a watch that allows him to see supernatural creatures called Yokai. Keita must solve problems regarding Yokai, collecting and battling them.

Yokai Watch has already spawned a manga and anime series. The game released in Japan late last year. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments section below.
