"British retailer GamePointsNow has revealed that they somehow learned that Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, a new game that takes place between the first and second games, is in development for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 at 2K Australia.

Lending further truth to the rumor is a Whois lookup for BorderlandsThePreSequel.com. The highly unusual domain was registered on March 24, just in time for this weekend’s PAX East convention."

I'm almost sad they are doing a prequel. From the ending of BL2 I was excited for space exploration and finding other vaults.

I know, I still hope this isn't true although its looking unlikely now

I wanted to play Borderlands 3 with space exploration and maybe (because of the ending) play the original vault hunters again with their new abilities they've seemed to gain.

i would love to play as Brick again!!!

@onyoursistersback

And you'll have the choice between his fists OR his new melee weapon :)

I want to play as Lilith again....now I'll get the choice between her phasewalk or her new powers

Oh and I know Sirens only get one power but because of her absorbing Eridium she can a lot of new powers.

Theres no way that they can introduce another Siren in Borderlands 3, there sonly 6 of them in the Universe and 3 of them (4 if Steele was one) came to Pandora....whats the chances of 3/4 of them being on Pandora when only 6 of them exist in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Think about it.

They'll have to use Lilith again...I hope

With the new stuff the old vault hunters got in Borderlands 2, even Mordecai's bloodwing is different so they can expand on the skill tree in Borderlands 3 and give us a choice on what to invest into :)

As for Rolan....well I say let Gaige take over.

They could be doing that for a ps4/x1/pc iteration.

Last gen? Ugh. I was really hoping for new gen borderlands. I thought TT games was doing a borderlands for the 360/ps3?

[admiralvic]

TT is doing Tales from the Borderlands, which is its own thing.

[BX81]

Thanks.

Why is this being made? Its like gearbox is afraid to do anything risky after Aliens.

[admiralvic]

Really? We've actually hit a point where people can't even finish reading the title before commenting?

"gearbox is afraid to do anything risky after Aliens."

From the title... "rumored to be in development at 2K Aus"

Anyway, whats wrong with that? Most developers just stick to sequels of popular series due to publisher demands or wanting to continue their series. I don't see the problem with GB doing that with Borderlands, though I don't see why you're calling them out for it. Especially since the title mentions 2K AUS is doing this one and Tell Tale is doing the other one...

[OrangePowerz]

Gearbox didn't make Alien, they only pretend they are doing it and outsourced it.

[Skate-AK]

Don't have a problem with it being PS3/360. Sure it has been in development for a while now.

[nope111]

Most likely a filler game like Arkham Origins to hold us out for Borderlands 3.
That said, i'm really excited anyway. More Borderlands please.

[HacSawJimThugin]

I dunno how I feel about this. Gearbox isn't developing it, it's on last gen hardware, but it's a Borderlands game;one of my all time favorite franchises. I just don't know. I want a proper sequel to BL2 not this.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

So, its Borderlands 1.5?
