Borderlands 3 isn't currently in development

You'd think that with the success of Borderlands 2, Gearbox would already be hard at work on Borderlands 3, but that isn't the case. "I'm not going to fuck around with you like Valve does with Half-Life 3," Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford told Polygon . "We know we want it and we know it should exist, but we don't know what it is yet."

Pitchford did imply, however, that more Borderlands things are afoot at Gearbox, even if the developer hasn't begun work on a fully fledged sequel. "We are doing things in Borderlands that we'll announce soon, that are good, and that I think people will be really excited about if you love the franchise," he said. There's also Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands , expected to release in 2014.

Aside from Borderlands, Pitchford said that Gearbox is working on two, yet-to-be-revealed games, unrelated to existing franchises. And this on top of its Furious Four , another Brothers in Arms game, remastered editions of both Homeworlds and Homeworld: Shipbreakers .

As we reported yesterday , Sir Hammerlock Versus the Son of Crawmerax will be the last piece of DLC for Borderlands 2. We also have some ideas of our own about what we want from Borderlands 3 .
