Borderlands 3 to launch on September 13th, 2019

As promised, Gearbox Software and 2K have blown the lid off of Borderlands 3 and released a ton of game info, new media, pre-order details and most importantly… a September 13th, 2019 release date for the stylish looter-shooter.

The new gameplay trailer look absolutely insane as you can see below, and those who are actually insane can opt for the limited edition Borderlands 3 Diamond Loot Chest Collector?s Edition for the low, low price of $249.99. PC players will have to pick up the game on the Epic Game Store at launch (apparently exclusively until April), if that’s something worth caring about. There will be yet another livestream extended gameplay reveal on May 1st too, so mark it on your calendars.

Oh and the Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition launches today to celebrate the full reveal of Borderlands 3.

See the Borderlands 3 gameplay trailer, screens and official announcement below.

Gearbox Software and 2K today announced that Borderlands 3, the next installment in the critically acclaimed shooter-looter series, will launch worldwide on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on the Epic Games store September 13, 2019.

Borderlands 3 is 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.

?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,? said Gearbox Software President and CEO Randy Pitchford. ?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.?

The franchise, which combines the exhilarating action of a first-person shooter with the rich progression and loot systems of a role-playing game, has sold-in more than 41 million units worldwide to date. The most popular title in the series ? Borderlands 2 ? still draws in more than one million unique monthly users more than six years after the game?s initial release in 2012.

A Mayhem-Fueled Thrill Ride:

Blast through new worlds and enemies as one of four brand new Vault Hunters ? the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization.

Play solo or join with friends to take on insane enemies, collect bazillions of guns and loads of loot, and save your home from the most ruthless cult leaders in the galaxy ? the Calypso Twins.
