Games Radar had a chat with Randy Pitchford, head of developer Gearbox, to see what the company has on the horizon as it has been some time since the last Borderlands game. Pitchford said that fans won’t have to wait long to find out what’s next, hinting that an announcement is seemingly on the near horizon. He also said that he is very “confident that our fans are going to be very, very happy with the next video game project.” Here’s some highlights from the interview:
On the next Gearbox game:
“I haven’t been perfect at hiding the fact that we’re working on many things, and that we’re working on big things. I’m confident that our fans are going to be very, very happy with the next video game project when we are ready to announce it. And I will tell you that we’re not going to be making people wait for a long time before we announce it.”
On more Borderlands spin-offs:
“We had a bigger result with the first Wonderlands game than we did with the first Borderlands game, so that’s something we can build on,” Pitchford explains. “I love fantasy. That’s why we did the original Dragon Keep DLC for Borderlands 2, because I love fantasy so much. So many of us at Gearbox love fantasy, and it gives us that kind of place to to mess around with that in the context of the Borderlands themes and universe. I think it’s reasonable for our fans to expect more there.”

Ew, Randy Pitchford
