The upcoming Cate Blanchett-fronted Borderlands film is the start of a «Borderlands Cinematic Universe», according to Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford.
Borderlands 3 is officially five years old as of today, September 13, and developer Gearbox is celebrating the milestone with another Shift Code dishing out a bunch of free loot. You have until October 13 to redeem it, and this code is only good for Borderlands 3, unlike the "most valuable" code in the series' history, which was recently uncovered by fans.
The Borderlands movie has finally limped out of theaters, culminating in total box office takings that barely covered its marketing costs.
Last month, controversial director Uwe Boll - best known for a string of not-great-at-best video game movie adaptations - took aim at the Borderlands movie's commercial failure. Unfortunately for Boll, what went around has come around, as he's been forced to cancel the crowdfund for his new movie after drawing in just $850 of his $2.5 million goal.
When Gearbox rocked up to PAX West to show off some concept art for Borderlands 4, they didn't give away too much information about the upcoming looter-shooter. They did give something else away, however, as our siblings at GamesRadar reported—dice cards that contained a secret message. Each one had a series of up and down arrows surrounding a picture of a D20, and when Randy Pitchford revealed they contained a secret code, the internet's sleuths went to work.
Randy Pitchford, Gearbox boss, has continued his odd yet entertaining thread of replying to just about anyone online who doesn't like what he has to say with long, confusing responses.
Nothing can get between Borderlands fans and hidden secrets, apparently, because the community has managed to crack a code disguised on an inconspicuous piece of card given out at PAX West for an incredible prize.
Having posted his way through the Borderlands movie's $-90 million box office takings, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford seems to be doing exactly the same thing with the company's latest tight spot.
The Borderlands spinoff looter-shooter Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is pretty good, if you're into that sort of thing, and it was apparently something of a surprise hit too: Publisher Take-Two Interactive said in 2022 that the game "outperformed our expectations" and was «the best new franchise launch from 2K in several years.» Given all that, you might have expected more Tiny Tina to happen in fairly short order—but it didn't.
