Written by Brandon Hofer on March 28, 2019

News: Fans have been waiting a long time to hear it and now Gearbox has confirmed that Borderlands is getting a new entry to the franchise.

Gearbox just held their PAX East 2019 panel and left Borderlands fans very happy. There were a few different announcements but the important for most is going to be that Borderlands 3 is indeed happening. In addition to that, there are some texture packs coming for The Handsome Collection, and the original Borderlands will be released on Xbox One, PS4, and PC completely remastered.

Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 is currently in development and has been worked on in some form or fashion over the last five years according to Randy Pitchford. There really wasn’t any information released other than the game does exist and they showed off a trailer to show off what you can expect whenever we are able to get our hands on this game.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition

The original Borderlands is also headed to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC next week via a “Game of the Year” edition. Some of the items you will find in this edition include:

Brand New Weapons

Substantial Visual Upgrades

Quality of Life Improvements

All Four Add-On Packs

SHiFT Rewards Program Now Included

Customize Your Vault Hunter

Free to Existing Owners on PC who own Borderlands

More will be included in the game but those are the only specifics that we were given. Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition will launch next week on April 3, 2019. Even though we have a release date, a price has not been given. Hopefully it doesn’t get released at the full $60 price point.

Borderlands Ultra HD Texture Packs

HD updates are coming for the rest of the core Borderlands titles as well thanks to the Ultra HD Texture Pack. This free, optional download increases the visual fidelity of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and its DLC on consoles, and provides a visual upgrade for Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and all their DLC on PC. Players will best appreciate all the added detail at 4K resolution, but improvements can be enjoyed on other displays as well.

All new and existing product owners will be able to download the texture pack starting April 3, 2019, making the Borderlands back catalog even more enticing for fans who can’t wait to play Borderlands 3.
