So if you’ve been living under a rock (like I have), Borderlands 3 was recently announced last week. Honestly, the trailer didn’t really blow me away. It feels ‘disjointed’ (IMO) from the lore of Borderlands. These two random twin bad guys suddenly show up and managed to start a cult with all the enemies. It definitely feels like a Borderlands thing to do, but I just.. I dunno. Something just didn’t feel right with it. It feels like there’s too much missing.
As in, why should we even care about the two new bosses? Handsome Jack was a figure from the original Borderlands. Now with Hyperion a shadow of its former self (with Jack dead by the hands of the vault hunter.. god damn beloved bird killer), I’m actually kind of curious to know more about the two bosses.

So anyway, the (unofficial as it’s always subject to change) release date for the game has been announced: September 13th, 2019. It’s also confirmed to offer ‘cross-platform
co-op’ which is pretty sweet (aka, you can play with your friend who’s on an Xbox, while you play on PC). I just hope and pray the game had years of development, or it’s going to suuuuuck! But since it’s being developed by Gearbox (the same ones that developed the original, Borderlands 2, and the pre-sequel), it can’t fail.
But guess what, loyal followers of Steam? We’re not going to see this coming until possibly March.. 2020! For the Epic Games store (which pales in comparison to Steam) has exclusive rights to have it (for six months). So isn’t that just awesome?!
You know it is, having to wait six more months past the release date before you can buy it on Steam. Just awesome.
