Following the Borderlands movie box office disaster, Gearbox Software studio head Randy Pitchford has attempted to lighten the mood on social media with another teaser of a fourth major entry in the video game series.
He mentioned how the team is working extra hard "four" fans on "what's next". Here it is in full:
"So what you're saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done. I'm super flattered! We're working extra hard four you on what's next...."
When 2K acquired the Borderlands studio earlier this year, it was mentioned at the time how the "next installment" in the Borderlands series was on the way. Pitchford has also recently said he won't make fans wait a long time for this announcement.
You can find out more about the Borderlands movie in our previous coverage here on Nintendo Life. Our pals at Push Square also reviewed it and some other critic reviews suggest it might end up being the "worst movie" of 2024.
Would you be up for a fourth major Borderlands game? Will you be checking out the movie? Let us know in the comments.

Okay, I admire Randy's ability to keep a level head in replying, especially when something he's worked on has been received poorly, but his responses still come off so passive aggressively. I guess I can't blame him with lots of people dogpiling, that's hard to keep a level head through.
What would have been surprising is if he held BL4 hostage behind the films success. It's not beneath him to do so, he's had Duke Nukem bound and gagged for ages now... I remember his thinly veiled threat that Duke might not return at all if the umpteenth DN3D re-release didn't perform well...
I remember, Randy.
Randy Pitchford needs to just go away. Year after year the scandals and controversies just keep piling up. Right now, he's nothing more than an embarrasment.
After the cringe cacophony of 3 I'll wait on this.
@LikelySatan if you take out the story 3 has the best gameplay in the entire series. And the story is pretty cringe aka borderlands as puck, so I have to disagree.
@AdolBannings-Laylee Yup. 3 feels great.
I'm not sure how you mean that you disagree. Sounded like you were agreeing. "Borderlands AF" (I assume that's what you mean by "puck") doesn't mean good, at least for me.
It’s always entertaining when a panned film shows up.
Ba🏀⚾️s with that, give us Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (and give it Ariana Greenblatt's voice instead of Ashly Burch!).
Goddamn Randy Pitchford is so greasy.
Before playing Borderlands 3, I would have been really excited about a 4th entry. After playing Borderlands 3, shrug.
For a second I read that name as Randy Pitchfork. Who's given out these names these days? Lucifer?
Randy now needs to justitfy his continued existance to Take-Two, who are the exact opposite of forgiving compared to Embracer. Who let him get away with WAY too much.
I don't blame them, the movie was absolutely terrible.
In the context of the Borderlands movie, that doesn't really sound like an accomplishment.
Maybe if they were to bring back Handsome Jack I might be interested in a fourth one.
@Tasuki I'm not sure if you played it, but Tales from the Borderlands (the original Telltale game) is about as close as you'll get to something like that.
I read today some dude left his Borderlands ticket on the front seat of his car. Someone broke into it and left 3 more. 🤣 obviously a joke but hilarious nonetheless.
