2K Games and Gearbox have officially announced Borderlands 3. Unfortunately, though, the publisher did not reveal any additional details other than the game’s official debut trailer that you can find below.
Borderlands 3 will be powered by Unreal Engine and seems to be visually similar to Borderlands 2. This may disappoint some people as the graphical jump between Borderlands 2 and 3 appears to be really small.
But anyway, Gearbox will reveal more details about Borderlands 3 on April 3rd so stay tuned for more!

Then wtf have they been doing with their fork of the engine for this damn long
Going to guess they’ve been developing thw game and not focusing on much else.
Honestly, what kind of graphical leap did people expect from these games?
Idk. I was at least expecting PBR and better lighting/shadows.
Improvements to those would make the game look wayy better while still respecting the art style
Higher poly count on characters, for starters. Literally nothing looks improved
No mention of the hilariously terrible presentation they had leading up to the underwhelming reveal? XD
Yeah. It was tough to watch.
why?
theyre waiting for the 3rd to say its exclusive to Epic Store for fear that the PAX East people would hang them.
I would hope like VTMB 2 it releases on both Steam and Epic. But I fear you might be right, that huge boo from people scared them. Also everything announced today was for Steam I believe.
Woulda been weird!
Considering the extended brain damage today’s audience has…I doubt they’ll complain about that.
You didn’t enjoy stepdad Randy’s Birthday Magic Show? clearly you dont know what entertainment is then!
I think I’ll stick to Warframe.
i’ll stick to my sh*male purns
Where in the trailer does it say its a BR game? I see 0 traces of BR in this trailer.

Is it me or is the 4 main character look unappealing this time? Graphical leap is small since it took so long for them to finally make a third game. Sucker are going to buy this games anyway regardless of what.
this game or these games?
I’m not impressed. Not excited either. One bit.
Not gonna judge everything but one thing is for sure…visually this looks just like Borderlands 2 with maybe a bit more objects on screen! WTF happened to the result of those fancy tech demos they presented few years back?!!
was thinking about that. smells like cash grab.
What fancy tech demo. They just showed the BL art style running in Unreal 4 and that was it.
you are right…it was UE, forgot about that! Meh…what else can we expect from Gearbox?!
now rage 2 doesn’t seem that bad all of a sudden.
it was never bad
looks like one of those chore games tbh
I agree…repetitive mission and play design. Pick mission from point A and travel to point B to acquire/kill/active something. Repeat this 100x times…credits roll!
this new borderlands 2 mod looks sick
The presentation was a complete joke, couldn’t play videos properly for 2 or 3 times, and what they showed look like a retarded ugly and stupid version of borderlands 2, graphics and effects looked pretty much the same, yet dickford said they’ve been working on that for 5 years. And they avoided talking about which platform it’ll be released because it’s probably going to be Epic turds store. Videogaming world really keeps going down.
Besides John, why do you keep using that ugly fanmade banner, since there’s an official one?Nice one.
Borderlands 1 6/10 kinda fun here hint (don’t play it if you played Borderlands 2 first because you will feel like the game miss alot of fun element and that’s why i give it 6/10) XD
Borderlands 2 10/10 perfect game
Borderlands pre-sequel 8/10 (almost perfect)
Borderlands 3 from the trailer i think it’s going to be 10/10 let’s wait and see after the release
and one more thing gearbox please release it on steam because all my friend and my game collection on steam 🙂
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Borderlands 2 a perfect game…are you high? dont answer me, you are high.
he is high.
No platforms announced. All sorts of negative thoughts going through my mind.
Gabe will pay them one billion and will not come to epic dont worry.
Gabe will pay nothing and I don’t want Steam/Valve to pay for any exclusives like Epic Games is doing.
Does it have the magical Squirt gun or what ?
I wish people would stop crying over everything. Game is going to be fun and all I see is negative BS below. Even so called fans of the originals are crying on youtube… Yet the real gamers are saying how awesome it looks and welcome it into the series
Whoosh.
Buncha babies on here anymore. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/17a90bb152a69c9db57d846bda7dddf60032326b815028bfb6932059376aab58.jpg
You are literally crying. also who puts you in charge to decide who’s the real gamer whos not ?
Well it’s always the same people on here crying day in day out…
And most of the time for a good reason, if you think everything in this s**t show of an industry and where the games are heading is good and worth celebrating for, share it with us please. don’t get me wrong, i don’t have anything against the new Borderlands trailer and it’s graphics (It’s fine) since the whole generation we only saw good and shiny graphics but below average games, so it won’t bother me.
wut?
I can already see myself spending another 1000 hours in this game, Just like I did with
Borderlands 2.
I dunno what people want. Even BL1 from 2009 still holds up nicely because of the art style.
This game will have better shadows, better particle effects, better post-processing, higher Rez, cleaner textures, better animations, bigger maps.
Borderlands 1 and 2 were some of the best implementations of Unreal Engine 3 for 2009 and 2012 respectively. I expect nothing less for BL3, given they have been working on it for 5 years.
Your point?
and on my monster pc ryzen 7 1700 16 gb ddr4 3200mhzcl15 gs kill rip jaws gtx 970 g1 gaming dellp2416d 24” 2560×1440 60 hz ips on max settings 1440p it wil look 10 times better than it!
