Borderlands 3: Everything you need to know

Now that Borderlands 3 has been officially announced we have started to get more and more confirmed information about the game itself.

What is the Borderlands 3 release date?

This is the most important question so let’s get that covered straightaway. Borderlands 3 is released on 13th September 2019. Borderlands 3 for PC will be exclusive to Epic Games until April 2020.

Multiplayer & Loot

Four player co-op mode has been a big part of the Borderlands franchise so far and obviously it’s making a return in Borderlands 3. Gearbox have also indicated that they would like the game to support cross-platform play. However, whether that actually happens remains to be see.

Players will also get individual loot drops so there is no longer an issue if you play with random players (or friends that don’t like to share). There is an option to switch to shared loot – similar to Borderlands 2 style.

There will also be options available to play online with friends regardless of players being at different levels.

What else is there?

The above trailer was released just before the announcement trailer and reveals some of the characters for Borderlands 3. We can definitely expect to see some characters from the previous games but also plenty of new ones.
