Hoy durante PAX East, Randy Pitchford anunció varias cosas dentro del universo Borderlands. La principal es que saldrá Borderlands 3. También habrá versiones "ultra-HD" (4k) para los juegos anteriores, es decir, Borderlands, Borderlands 2 y The Pre-sequel. Gearbox no se vio muy hambreado ya que las mejoras gráficas y otros "tweaks" serán sin costo para quienes ya tengan esos juegos en Steam.
Sobre Borderlands:
Publisher 2K Games and developer Gearbox Software have announced Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will launch on April 3.
What’s New
- Quality of Life Improvements: Significant updates to the game’s supporting systems allow for a smoother overall experience. For example:
- A Borderlands 2-style mini-map, which you can toggle on and off, has been added to complement the original compass.
- Substantial improvements to the inventory system—such as allowing you to “lock” weapons or mark them as “ junk ”—simplify item management.
- Items like ammo, money, and health now auto-pick up from the ground.
- Rewards Ready: With the addition of the SHiFT player rewards program, you can now use Golden Keys to unlock special in-game items and rewards. Returning SHiFT users who’ve played Borderlands 2 or The Pre-Sequel on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC will receive 75 free Golden Keys, as well as two randomly selected all-new weapons, for their first newly-created Vault Hunter.
- Added Firepower: A new set of six named, custom-skinned Legendary weapons make the base game’s arsenal even deeper. Beat bosses or gather Golden Keys for a chance to collect ‘em all.
- Badder Boss Battles: In direct response to fan feedback, the campaign ’s final boss encounter has been adjusted to be more engaging, challenging, and rewarding.
- Cosmetic Customization: For the first time, you will be able to customize your Vault Hunter beyond simply selecting a color scheme. Each of the four available characters has five brand new cosmetic heads unlocked and equippable right from the start of the game.
- Now Available on Modern Consoles: Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition makes the original Borderlands readily available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for the first time, in addition to providing a newly enhanced and visually remastered version for PC players .
- Free to Existing Owners on PC: If you already own the original Borderlands on Steam, you’ll be able to upgrade to Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition absolutely free.
