The ESRB has just listed a Game of the Year edition for the first Borderlands game. According to the listing, Borderlands Game of the Year will be coming to current-gen platforms (including the PC) though there isn’t any ETA yet.
As its description reads, Borderlands is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a Vault Hunter (i.e., treasure hunter) on a quest to uncover an alien vault on the planet of Pandora.
“Players will explore an open-world environment and interact with characters, while completing mission objectives. Combat missions require players to use futuristic firearms (e.g., acid pistols, electrical shotguns, grenade launchers) to kill human bandits, alien creatures, and robotic sentries. Battles are frenetic and accompanied by screams of pain, gunfire, and large explosions. Human enemies emit large splashes of blood when shot and killed; some attacks may result in dismemberment and/or decapitation.”
Now I’m pretty sure that this isn’t what most Borderlands fans have been looking forward to, but it’s at least something. Still, my guess is that the third part in the series will be revealed next week at PAX East.
Borderlands Game of the Year has been rated “M” for mature audience.
Stay tuned for more!

I don’t understand. Why now?
Randy is probably trying to remind people that the series exists before they announce Boredomlands 3: NTR Edition.
Hopefully it comes bundled with Borderlands 3, and has 0 microtransactions. But I doubt it. Still would be cool.
Ekhem…
“In-Game Purchases (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One)”
LOL
LOL seems like Modern Warfare remastered all over again!
My guess would be a Switch port. Generally, we see these re-releases anytime we’re getting a Switch port of an older game. They’re already porting/re-compiling, so why not go all in?
It already has a goty edition on PC!
PC version is always GOTY version 😉
?
Good ol’ gaming industry. Rehash until the cows come home.
The only good Borderlands game. 2 is atrocious.
I liked 2 much better, personally.
Hated the writing in 2 enough to hate the game itself.
I played it for the gameplay, definitely not for the story so much. So, I totally get you. Honestly, I don’t recall the story so it couldn’t have been great.
Kill Handsome Jack and his daughter Angel
The politics in some parts of the writing were vile and a disgrace to the gaming community. However, the gameplay and graphics were good. Is it too much to ask to remove the former?
i have to agree with that
2 has an FOV slider, this gives B2 an automatic win.
But why?
I’m confused, I already own Borderlands: Game of the Year on Steam. Is this a re-master that is coming?
It’s not a remake it’s not a remaster, just re-release with “n-Game Purchases” to milk more cash from naive people.
The retail disc wasn’t a steam code.
Pointless edition is pointless
unless they add an FOV slider… then yes.
the default FOV was trash and modding it wasn’t a “set it and forget it” deal.
Probably a remaster…the current GOTY version on PC doesn’t even have a FOV slider and you had to change it via config files and not always worked or sometimes it reset itself and Anti aliasing option was awful too.
Not a bad game tho, the ending was garbage but the rest was cool.
I never finished Borderlands 2, played it more than the first too…perhaps it had too much content counting all those DLC’s and I got tired of backtracking around those maps over and over.
Maybe it’s a test, they want to re-release the same game but this time they go with Epic and get free money and do that with B3 and get more free Epic money.
Useless
So how about that Borderlands 3? Hmmm, Guys…. No? Ok then. Pfffttttttttttttttttttttt
Great game in desperate need of a remaster. It’s still 32 bit and runs on a single core.
You know almost all games are 32 bit right. Very few games are ever going to be 64 bit.
lmao, made me laugh
lel one day you’ll learn what you’re talking about.
lel one day you’ll upgrade your PC.
Wait… no you won’t lol
What GOTY? Isn’t BRDLS have GOTY edition for years now? ”Borderlands: Game of the Year
This package includes Borderlands plus all 4 DLC.” My bets goes to ingame store to milk customers.
I’m not understanding. I bought Borderlands 1 GOTY on 360 like, 8 years ago? What do I have on Steam? Isn’t it GOTY?
JOHN,
Have seen this news UPDATE from 2K ?
2K Stops Disk-To-Steam Borderlands Conversions 1 Day Before Game of The Year Upgrade Announcement..
Two days ago, on March 27th, 2K Games removed their “Borderlands Granting Tool” from Steam, preventing legitimate owners of Borderlands from converting their unplayable physical copies into playable Steam versions
What Gearbox and 2K have done is deny disk-based owners of Borderlands access to their game, not just their free Game of the Year Edition upgrade. Owners of the disk-based version of Borderlands must now repurchase the game to access it, which is not a consumer-friendly move from Gearbox/2K.
