Gearbox’s PAX East 2019 panelwas riddled with technical difficulties, but that didn’t curb any enthusiasm for the official announcement ofBorderlands 3. The game was revealed in a teaser trailer that offered plenty of details aboutBorderlands 3and what it has in store for fans, confirming many of the leaks in the process.
As seen in theBorderlands 3trailer, the Calypso Twins will be the main villains in the new game. They will be the leaders of the Children of the Vault cult, which players will fight against across a variety of different worlds, offering more environmental variety than seen in pastBorderlandsgames. Some of the areasBorderlands 3players will get to visit include a swamp area, a large city with towering skyscrapers, and the typical desert locales that fans of the franchise should be plenty familiar with by now.
As previously stated, theBorderlands 3trailer shown at PAX East 2019 seemingly confirmed many details that leaked about the game. One leak was posted on 4chan, and divulged a slew of information that was confirmed in the trailer, such as certain returning characters, and the abilities of thenew Vault Hunters. For example, the leak that one of the Vault Hunters will have aTitanfall-style mech has turned out to be accurate.
Borderlands 3players will have more than just aTitanfall-style mechat their disposal. When it comes to killing the hordes of baddies inBorderlands 3, players will be able to choose from over 1 billion guns, which is staggering, to say the least. However, considering the dizzying amount of weaponry featured in pastBorderlandsgames, it’s actually a believable number.
Borderlands 3also teased “walking guns,” but it’s unclear if they come as a character ability or if they’re just a new type of weapon in the game available to all classes. Regardless, fans should find out more in the months leading up toBorderlands 3’s release date, whenever that may be.
Borderlands 3is in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
