Borderlands 4 Teased by Gearbox CEO After Disastrous Borderlands Movie Release
Borderlands 4 gets another tease from Gearbox's CEO following the massive failure of the Borderlands film. Read on to learn more about the development of the game and what prompted the CEO to talk about it.
Gearbox CEO Teases Progress on Borderlands 4Ongoing Development for New Borderlands Game
On Sunday morning, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford hinted again at the development of the new Borderlands game, subtly confirming the studio’s ongoing work on the franchise. Pitchford expressed his gratitude to fans, stating that their enthusiasm for the Borderlands games surpasses their appreciation for the recent movie adaptation. He added that the team is working diligently on the next installment, which left fans eager for more details.
This tease follows Pitchford’s previous remarks in a GamesRadar+ interview last month, where he mentioned that Gearbox has several major projects underway. While stopping short of an official announcement, he hinted that fans wouldn’t have to wait much longer for news on the next Borderlands game.
Earlier this year, the development of Borderlands 4 was officially confirmed by publisher 2K, coinciding with Take-Two Interactive’s acquisition of Gearbox Entertainment. The Borderlands series, which launched in 2009, has sold over 83 million units, with Borderlands 3 becoming 2K’s fastest-selling title at 19 million copies. Borderlands 2 remains the company’s best-selling game, with over 28 million copies sold since 2012.
Negative Reception of the Borderlands Movie Fuels CEO’s Comments
The long-delayed film, which began production more than three years ago, has faced scathing reviews and is now considered one of the summer’s biggest critical failures. Even die-hard fans of the Borderlands franchise have expressed their disappointment, resulting in a poor CinemaScore rating. Critics have described the film as out of touch with its audience, lacking the charm and humor that made the games so popular. Edgar Ortega, writer at Loud and Clear Reviews, pointed out that the film felt like a misguided attempt to cater to what studio executives assumed would appeal to younger audiences, ultimately resulting in a lackluster experience.
As Gearbox gears up for its next game, the underwhelming reception of the Borderlands film serves as a reminder of the challenges of adapting beloved video games to film. Nonetheless, the studio is focused on delivering another hit for its gaming fans.
