2K Games and Gearbox have announced that Borderlands 3 will be released on September 13th. According to the press release, the game will be timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store and will come to additional PC digital storefronts in April 2020.
Borderlands 3 will take full advantage of the most powerful PC hardware available, and is optimized for top performance and incredible gaming experiences on AMD Radeon graphics cards and Ryzen CPUs.
2K President David Ismailer said:
“The PC gaming community has been an important part of the success of the Borderlands series, and we are excited to be partnering with Epic who recognize its worldwide popularity and share in our commitment to bring Borderlands 3 to this rapidly expanding audience. Our mission, in addition to delivering the most engaging and captivating entertainment experiences, is to embrace new distribution platforms that will contribute to our effort to grow the audience for Borderlands 3.”
Borderlands 3 promises to be a hilarious, story-driven, non-stop galactic thrill-ride, filled with colorful characters, epic enemies and boss fights, and literally billions of guns. In an all-new gameplay trailer released today, Gearbox and 2K show off the game’s unique brand of explosive, irreverent mayhem.
Gearbox Software President and CEO Randy Pitchford added:
“For the past several years, the team at Gearbox Software has been devoting every ounce of our passion, creativity and love into making Borderlands 3 the biggest, baddest and most ambitious Borderlands adventure we’ve ever made. Borderlands 3 is being crafted not only as a love letter to fans of the series, but also as an ideal entry point for new players to jump-in alone or cooperatively, on or off-line, in the latest and greatest installment of the definitive best-in-class benchmark shooter-looter.”

Releasing April 13th, 2020 on Steam. That is all I wanted to know.
Releasing September 14th, 2019 by CPY or CODEX is all I want to know.
#epicfail
Since it’s Take-Two, it might not have denuvo, and thus September 13 -CODEX is very likely!
Epic rules !
shill
Of course bizzysgs is the only one who liked your comment. lol. Sad f*ks.
mad ?
Why i should be mad, mate?
The last game was a total cringefest thanks to Anthony Burch. It turned me off of the series entirely.
You should try Tales Of The Borderlands. That one is really great.
“Borderlands 3 promises to be a hilarious”
Press x to doubt.
In my case, F to pay respects!
It has been born dead.
Press magnet link to torrent
If nothing else it’ll add to the number of people seeding the torrent. A moral obligation of sorts, haha!
Good guy Tim Swiney, making piracy great again
He will build a wall around Steam and make Gabe pay for it.
Don’t task Joe Biden with safeguarding the women and children!
Haha, Creepy Uncle Joe.
He could be in a future Five Nights at Freddy’s game for extra jump-scares!
You are one funny Azz Dude man, you never disappoint ?
Thanks for the confirmation, Randy. Enjoy your epic money
Guess I won’t be doing a lot of front-log gaming in 2019. That’s cool I’m still working on MGS5 and stuff.
Doom Eternal is coming to Steam in 2019. My guess is November 2019.
Oh right this is a good point. I hope it repeats BFG Division every level (half sarcasm.)
Many arch viles shall be sworded. Well probably chainsawed because you probably don’t kill Hayden and get the sword until the end.
Great news ! I get so much satisfaction every time I see a game is an epic store exclusive. In fact, I’m thinking of probably getting a tattoo of the epic store logo on my a s s. #FCKSTEAM
what the f*k is wrong with you?
He’s a self-confessed Sony console fanboy, obsessive worshipper of Destiny and also loves Anthem. Clearly not dealing with a full deck.
Don’t love Anthem.
How can you even play Destiny? I put both of those games down within an hour. I don’t think I even finished the intro of Destiny 1 it was so bad.
Well maybe that’s why. You never actually stuck around to experience the best parts (like raids and trials of osiris), which were groundbreaking for a first person shooter at the time. Then there’s the PVP part, which kept me playing for most of the time. You either love it or you don’t, or you just lack the skill to enjoy purely gun skill based PVP games, that don’t have gimmicks to hook casuals, like battle royals or Overwatch. But if you couldn’t even finish the intro, I don’t know what to tell you. Even critics who gave the game low scores in reviews praised it for its satisfying gunplay and general fun gameplay. Despite all of its issues, it had that going for it right from the start. So if you couldn’t even finish the intro, that’s more of a you problem.
He’s an attention wh*re, don’t mind him. But he has a point. He sucked Epic’s di*k so much, that now he wants it in the a s s. No wonder he wants a tattoo there, we all must know that he’s Epic’s bitc.h.
And i will get more satisfaction on April 23rd when they will announce Persona 5S on Nintendo Switch. Another exclusive loss for the SoyStaion 4.
Why is that a loss ? Many PS4 fans also love the Switch. So that’s a win, because we get to take an amazing game with us on vacation. When you’re not a poor pirate you can easily afford a PC, a PS4 and a Nintendo Switch at the same time lol. And you get to simply enjoy gaming instead of being salty about everything. While you’re locked in your parents basement being jealous and salty, I’m sitting over here playing Metro Exodus with ray tracing, Zelda Breath of The Wild when I’m on vacation, and chilling with some God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn on a nice Sunday afternoon. Life is good man.
“Many PS4 fans also love the Switch” Woow nice damage control!Sorry for breaking your dreams, but the soystation 4 fanboys they hate Nintendo by saying ” Muh kiddie console with kiddie game Super Mario”. Meanwhile on the Soystation 4 you get exclusive censor japanese games when on Nintendo Switch don’t.
Indeed. One only has to recall the outrage and crying from the Sony zealots when Zelda BotW received a higher Metacritic rating than Horizon Zero Dawn.
Ditto when a whole raft of mentally challenged Sony zealots took out Jim Sterling’s website with an orchestrated DDoS attack simply because he didn’t love a Sony game as much as they demanded him to.
Sony fanboys are the absolute worst.
There are plenty of PS4 zealots just like PC zealots (you for example). That doesn’t mean I’m like them.
Sure you do. Do you also have s*x with your playstation? And also kiss your RTX everynight before going to sleep? Pathetic. I’m mostly a PS gamer, but you are really acting like a true peasant.
“I’m sitting over here playing Metro Exodus with ray tracing”
30 years later
“I’m sitting over here playing The Last Of Us 4 and God Of War 9 with ray tracing, on my RTX 9000, still being butt fuc*ed by Epic Games, and still masturabting over MuH eXcLuSiVe GaMeS.
Life is good. Even when you’re a 40 years old neckbeard virgin.”
Don’t forget, that much salt will kill you.
“Do you also have s*x with your playstation?”
No, just your mom.
Imagine making “mom” insults in 2019. Yikes.
“we are excited to be partnering with Epic”
http://thespiritualindian.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/greedy-mind-greed1.jpg
And Sweeney even said “funding” in his tweet about it. He basically pays for this. This image is perfectly describing it!
Why do I not care about “epic games” getting any “aaa” games anymore? Does it say something for the say state of “aaa” games? I think it does.
If anyone has any faith in “Borderlands 3”, given the modern state of this industry, and gearbox, well….. then I weep for your intelligence. This is bonafide garbage in the making.
13 April it is then
New rule for me going forward this year. Not only am I going to blacklist/ignore indie devs doing this kind of crap, but I’ll be blacklisting entire publishers, because it’s obvious now that they are mostly the ones making these scummy deals to begin with.
I’ll not only be saving far more money each year, but I’ll also have more time to complete my backlog and player quality games, from devs that aren’t complete scumbags.
This mirrors my comment and feelings as well. Step 1. “Epic store” Step 2. I don’t even consider buying your games even if they are my favorites.
i.e Game will run, confirmed.
“collaboration with AMD confirmed”
This explains why a lot of people complained that B3 graphic looks like B2. ????
Yes it is.
Another Looter Shooter, graphics look dated, Randy Pitchford, Take 2 Interactive, Epic Games Store, $100 Super Deluxe Edition etc
PC Gamers have the power to end this if they want to. All they have to do is uninstall the Epic Games Store from their PCs and/or never give their payment info to Epic Games. If they cannot do that they deserve to be ****** in the ***. I can only guarantee I will be doing my part.
You won’t be alone in your decision
I love PC games, is not important if on steam, or uplay or battlenet or epic or bethesdanet, because a PC game must be played on PC, not on a only platform(steam).
The PC is the PC, is not only steam.
Wrong. PC is also about CHOICE. Whether you can buy a game from Origin, Uplay, Steam, or GOG, you have a choice. And we don’t have a choice anymore, we either buy it from Epic, or we play it cracked. PC is not about exclusive games, that’s the fact. Also, when you say “PC gaming” you say “steam”. That’s the biggest platform for PC games. And always will be.
And why if we can buy Sekiro only on steam is good and if we can buy Borderlands 3 only on epic is bad? following which logic? that of steam fanboys? this is a hypocritical speech. If is good for Sekiro is good also with Borderlands 3 or Metro.
Business is business, and for a player, a serious player not a steam fanboy a PC games is a PC game, not steam game or uplay game or epicstore game.
Steam is the biggest platform for PC games, this is true, but steam is only a platform inside the PC, and the PC is much more, And always will be.
but Sekiro are not being forced only on to steam. If they wanted to sell their product on any other store they are welcome to. Steam is against locking 3rd party games to just one platform
SO? A exclusives is a exclusives, business is business. Is not importan the reason of the exclusive but the exclusive itself.
Moreover: Remember google stadia, the world of platforms is dying, adapt.
realy? Following your reason i can buy Sekiro on GoG. I can buy Sekiro on GoG? i don’t care. So Sekiro is a steam exclusive like Metro is a epic exclusive.
“And why if we can buy Sekiro only on steam is good and if we can buy Borderlands 3 only on epic is bad? following which logic? that of steam fanboys? this is a hypocritical speech. If is good for Sekiro is good also with Borderlands 3 or Metro.”
Because Sekiro wasn’t forced on steam only. Most 3d party games on steam are also available on different platforms, that’s the difference. Give me a break with your “steam fanboy” bs. I use Steam, Origin and uplay, also GOG, you call me a fanboy because you don’t have any real arguments.
“Business is business, and for a player, a serious player not a steam fanboy a PC games is a PC game, not steam game or uplay game or epicstore game.”
Complete BS. If in future any developer will have each launcher, you will dowload them all? You will have to rememer the games you use for that launcher? Uplay for AC and Division, Origin for BF, Blizzard for Overwatch, Bethesda Launcher for Fallout, Epic Store for Fortnite and Borderlands, Steam for x and y games. Next what? Capcom launcher? F*k that.
PC sure as hell is something much more. PC can be almost anything… anything but a place for 70 different game launchers.
I have achievements in Sekiro and I am trying to 100 per cent that game, I can leave my review of why I am deeply in-love with Sekiro, so other people might want to try it.
Kinda cool to defeat a tough as nails boss and get the achievement pop up, you feel a small degree of satisfaction. I love playing games and getting achievements, I love reading some peoples well thought out reviews. And why some games are so amazing to them.
I love being able to buy from GMG, Humble, Amazon, Games Planet, Fanatical etc. Some times one of these stores will offer a nice VIP or Loyalty discount on pre orders and newly released games.
I loved Odyssey and I got achievements on Uplay, also bought that one from Amazon and have received multiple discount vouchers from GMG.
If Sekiro would have released on Epic I would have gotten a big fat nothing!!!! Just an executable. And another Launcher, a pretty crappy, boring, bare bones launcher. That doesn’t want user reviews.
No 100 per cent, no achievements, no chance to leave my review, no chance to buy from a dozen stores, just a crappy launcher.
So if PC is much more as you say, then why should I settle for less?
Becouse PC is Steam, Uplay, galaxy, battlenet, origin, bethesdanet….and today also epic store.
That does not change the fact that the Epic Store is worse than all of those other services. And PC is not stores or publishers, PC is us consumers. And as a consumer why would I choose a store with less features, an anti consumer, pro publisher store?
Where does it say PC is to bend over and take it in the asss by Stores and Publishers?
epic is the worse, yes, maybe in second position, the worse is microsoft store, but, epic store is a young launcher, the road map show of epic will add a lot of features.
I like Epic store? Nope…. : But i want play on PC because on PC the game is important, not the sub-platforms, and Today the PC is composed from much sub-platmofor like steam, Origin, Uplay ecc.ecc. one more makes no difference…..
Following your thought why i can’t chose to play Sekiro shadow dice twice on gog? I should be able to do it.
you are not impartial.
I prefer gog but I also adapt to steam(or Origin, Uplay, Epic), because PC play is on a PC. But you only complain if you can’t buy on steam, if it’s not on gog, you don’t care, you’re biased and you’re not making an impartial speech. You don’t care about your PC, you just don’t want steam to be disadvantaged.
Lol well it doesn’t seem like you read my comments at all.
Seems to me you’re just anti steam, or just have nothing to say.
The PC is PC defense makes no sense, I don’t care about my PC?
What are you on about?
If you were a PC gamer you would want games to be on as much platforms as possible, that’s what being a PC Gamer is, to have choice!
I complain because Epic is taking away choice, they want to silence PC gamers, they do not support user reviews, and they hold games they did not develop hostage. Valve, GOG, Origin, Uplay. Battlenet have never done that.
Why will I support Epic if they are bringing exclusives to my platform of choice, and forcing pc gamers to use their awful Launcher.
And if you love PC so much, how can you support that?
Yeah I am biased I am anti Epic and have been a PC gamer since FF VII first came out on PC. I used to own Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 on floppy, lol!
So stop using your dumb defense and write something meaningful for a change. And maybe read my comments before saying you are “following” my thoughts. Lol!
“PC Gamers have the power to end this if they want to.”
But that’s the thing, most of them couldn’t care less, and for good reason. This game will sell really well because it’s Borderlands 3. Epic Store exclusivity won’t necessarily change that.
Epic and all those developers have to understand that they just don’t have the Steam user numbers to make this work, and that ain’t gonna to change. When the Steam versions of these games release they will see an increase in sales for all of these timed exclusives simply because no one with a thinking mind wants Epic Games at the helm of PC Gaming. That would be a disaster.
Sadly, those left with a “thinking mind” are very very few, and i count less by the day.
Metro Exodus failed and this will too.
If by failed, you mean “sold well and scored well”, then yes it failed.
Sold well LOL
It sold so well that the publisher refused to give the sales number and instead put out some largely meaningless PR spin which was sufficient to convince the gullible. Hence bizzysgs and Amith Thomas commenting as they have.
If by failed you mean sold more than 2.5 times on the epic store than Last Light did in a similar time ON STEAM, then yes, it failed LMFAO.
Actually I’m thinking of buying two more PCs just to install the epic store two more times.
Still a weak a*s troll. You’re so desperate for attention, it’s cringy. Get a life.
The fact that you got baited by my weak a*s attempts at trolling multiple times speaks volumes.
Troll alert.
i’m already there, i have never seen epic’s launcher in my life.
And your soul is better for it.
i never installed to begin with so nothing to uninstall, but either way im with you.
Not really. Subnautica and Slime Rancher — each individually managed to reach over 4.5 million free downloads only after being advertised for 2 weeks. That is the install base of Epic Games Store, no matter how many supposed Fortnite users Epic Games throws at our face.
yeah because all the kids playing free fortnite have no money
Released today:
Borderlands GOTY Edition Enhanced
Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition Remastered
Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Remastered
…and they’ve all been cracked already! ?
Already have them all on Steam and currently downloading. Will check them out tomorrow to see what has changed/improved.
I have the latter two on Steam already so the one of them currently installed is now updating to the ‘remastered’ edition. I’m guessing the update/s will mess with the invaluable Unofficial Community Patch mod/s.
I don’t own the original Borderlands but due to what they’ve done with Epic Games Store today then I might pirate it as an extra f**k you to them.
The best part? Tim will pay the guaranteed sale amount out of his own pocket.
Ehh… who needs Borderlands 3 when MCC and Doom Eternal come soon on Steam. Never was a Borderlands fan to begin with.
Steam got to do something with this situation if not want to lose more than now.
Collaboration with AMD? Good, it won’t have any PhysX, RTX, DLSS bullshit.
I think that it is not good at all. Borderlands 3 already looks similar to Borderlands 2 based on the screenshots and now we learn that it won’t have PhysX so it will be less good looking than Borderlands 2 in action. PhysX actually made Borderlands 2 look great so this is disappointing
While looked great, Borderlands 2 suffers from awful framerate drops in heated battles due to PhysX. I say this from my own experience: last time I ran this game, with a GTX 1070, it had drops to below 30 fps.
I highly doubt that but I have literally never played BL2, it just sits in my library like all the borederlands games. Will try it on my 1080.
How is DLSS BS? It literally gives you free performance with only a slight reduction in image quality.
Because lololol nvidia bad lolololol
This killed me, thank you.
Would be true, if I hadn’t a Nvidia card…
Yeah, my bad. It’s the only good feature.
This is the only good news. Because not even Nvidia features work on Nvidia cards. GimpWorks is an utter shame. Whenever I saw/see Nvidia features in a game, even when i had nvidia cards, II jus felt dirty. And I had Nvidia cards for a decade up until 4 months ago. Such a horrible BS features. Not only that, those same features runs better on an AMD card. Ain’t that some B.S…
Never had any problem using Nvidia features on my Nvidia cards. Are you sure you had genuine Nvidia cards and did not buy one of those fake cheapo cards on Ebay?
It also does not make sense to read in the same paragraph “not even Nvidia features work on Nvidia cards” and “those same features runs better on an AMD card”. So let me get this straight, you are telling us that Nvidia features work on an AMD card? If so why are you complaining? Why do you feel “dirty” if Nvidia is actually so generous to their competition?
By the way, do you know that features such as Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing (FXAA) which are used by virtually everyone, even consoles (running AMD hardware) were developed by Nvidia?
Nope!

Holy…
CPY CPY CPY CPY CPY CPY CPY CPY!!!
I don’t even care about borderlands 3 in the first place but any game and any developer and publisher that decide to piss on customers for their own slightly increased short term profit are dead to me. That’s unfortunate because now if a new BioShock ever comes out I won’t be buying it, or Civilization, or GTA. Although to be fair, the original devs of BS are gone and GTA is a shadow of what it used to be – Rockstar is only interested in microtransactions and console fanboys.
It’s going to be like old times back when I couldn’t afford to buy games and would pick them up once they were on sale after torrenting them. I guess technically I can’t afford games right now either so whatever.
Epic, make piracy great again.
The game gonna be SJW junk anyway. Epic Store is the right place for it.
Borderlands always had that SJW vibe.
Fortunately Rule34 redeems it.
Yeah no thanks, I’ll wait for a Crack and try it this year, if its good I’ll buy the GOTY edition down the line. Epic has nothing to offer me. No achievements, might as well be a cracked game. The exact same thing.
E3 is coming, DOOM, Rage and Halo MCC to scratch that FPS itch. And big news from Cyberpunk and hopefully Rocksteady and the FFVII Remake coming on E3. .
So I’ll wait. Exodus fell into oblivion pretty fast. And it was cracked less than a week after release.
They take away choice, I choose to pirate. Easy as that.
This years greatest releases came from Steam, Sekiro, DMC V, Resi 2. So yeah I have no need for Epic.
Funny how people thought it would kill Destiny. Now Borderlands 3 is dying even before release.
i forgot destiny was on pc, i have never heard or seen anyone talk about it on pc. it’s a garbage game for simpleton console peasants.
Lara Croft : The Fall of Tomb Raider Now Available in Epic Game stores.
I hate myself.
It would be even funnier if Destiny comes to Steam on September 13th of all dates now that Bungie has parted ways with Activision.
Laugh all you want. BL3 will bury Destiny, Anthem and Division. Warframe will remain standing due to being free and due to the colossal amount of content already released.
Idiots that are ecstatic for this overhyped trash only care about multiplayer with their gay friends. They don’t care for anything else
The part about “epic enemies” was inadvertently true though!
collaboration with AMD confirmed https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/890b9253feebf6e3cc74a1c4bb28fe7abd1d0ef3eec5e49180952a8fafb0e96d.jpg
Anywhere this game is released will still cause it to be the same thing it’s always been.
Overrated nonsense.
You people cry too much
why do you have so much hate for episc store? what’s the problem here?I really still have to understand it!
why do you all have so much hate for epic store? what’s the problem here?I really still have to understand it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSj8SQ5Nu20
I’m too lazy to explain it over and over again.
Why am I not surprised at all?!!
Can’t wait for CPY/CODEX store “release day timed” exclusive!
Let’s hope System shock remake won’t be a exclusive title.
ah Epic Store, my favourite. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/38523299bb6a63080afd38157cc399806bea7cf99b8412dc41de546f876f955b.png
why do you all have so much hate for epic store? what’s the problem here?I really
I wouldn’t even waste the hit to my share ratio to download this trash. I never got the Borderlands hype. I own them all, not sure why, but I played maybe 2 hours of the first game before never touching it again. There are dozens of games like this which are at least mildly interesting.
i dont like exclusivity like this.. but, come on valve, do something.. make steam more interesting (lower your tax) or if u can’t/don’t want, just release a good game, not a f**king trash card game..
