Along with that announcement, Gearbox also released this trailer showing us some of the new characters and officially introducing our villains, the Calypso Twins:
Borderlands 3 looks to bring back everything gamers loved about the Borderlands franchise. This includes the over-the-top fun characters to fill out the unique world (or in this case worlds), a distinct art style that sets itself apart from other games in its genre, chaotic 4-player co-op (online or split-screen), and a billion guns.
Like previous Borderlands games, you’ll be able to pick from 4 different characters with their own skill-trees and playstyles. With Borderlands 3, you’ll select from Moze (The Gunner), Amara (The Siren), FL4K (The Beastmaster), and Zane (The Operative). Here’s a quick description for the game courtesy of Gearbox:
Unfortunately, the quick September 13th release date comes with a catch for PC players. The game will be a timed Epic Games Store exclusive for the PC platform. So Steam gamers who don’t want to purchase the game via Epic will have to wait until April 2020.
Borderlands 3 is set to get an official gameplay reveal event May 1st.
