Borderlands 3 coming out September 13 2019? (Gold Weapon Skins Pre-order bonus)

[Lannisters1798]

The official Borderlands 3 Twitter account just posted this. But it's also April Fools Day, so keep this tweet with a grain of salt.

We will know for sure on April 3 2019.

Archived it here just in case.

Seems like a bizarre thing to do for April Fool's. I guess we'll know if it's real if they delete this tweet immediately lol

Edit: Yup, it's real lol

It'd be in really poor taste to joke about release date of a highly anticipated game

 

[Jake2byFour]

September 13 is a Friday

 

[RockmanBN]

If not April Fools, then that's great! I love quick announcement to release periods.

 

[modiz]

this doesnt look like a joke to me at all.

 

[SilverX]

A release date that sounds plausible as an April Fools joke?

All the best games release on Fridays

Did they already finish everything besides voice recording? Because someone asked recently on Twitter if Troy baker would be voicing Rhys again, and it was implied they wanted him to. So with a release date so close by that seems like a mad dash to record voice lines.

April Fools release dates seems sketchy and all. But eh.

It seems like a good day to release it, around the same time the second game released back in 2012.

However, we should remember what day it is today.

Ok? Several games in the past few years have released on a Friday.

 

[Jawmuncher]

This more than likely wasn't meant to go up yet. If you go to the actual Borderlands Page it isn't there. But it's listed through Twitter Ads.

Plenty of games are released on a Friday.

 

[Khrol]

The Gold Skin Weapon Pack sounds like a troll. That's late 2000s EA stuff right there.

 

[Deleted member 3925]

Odd that they'd post it today and not the 3rd if it isn't a joke, but we'll see soon.

 

[Balmung421]

Would be awesome if true

Heck, Nintendo releases all of their games o Friday, and just this past month, DMC5 and Sekiro were Friday releases.

[Ceadeus]

BL2 released septembre 18th mmmm

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Aaaaand it's gone. Guess it's probably legit then?

 

[LuisGarcia]

Yeah I think this is real. Can't wait

 

[HotFries]

A lot of games release on Friday now.

 

[Khrol]

Tweet deleted? Well well

 

[Nintendo]

It has to be real. I mean why would they say this as an April Fool's joke? It doesn't make sense.

 

[FashionTarkus]

deleted ?

mmmmmmmmm.....

 

[Einbroch]

WHOOPS

 

[Deleted member 864]

Looks like the tweet was deleted.

I guess we now know lol.

 

[modiz]

Sounds like something right up gearbox's alley then

 

[Theiea]

That's my birthday, so it better happen.

 

[Silky]

Leaking a release date for a drop of clout?

 

[Van Bur3n]

Smells legit. A good time to release.

 

[Arsene no Kiseki]

Its gone. Definitely not april fools.

 

[Grimminski]

Nearly 7 years to the day since BL2

 

[Deleted member 3925]

That's right around the corner. Good date.

 

[Stalker]

I expect this is part of the April 3rd stuff they have.

Good date

That's an oof.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wish the platforms would've leaked as well. I was all over that tweet looking but the website has nothing still.

 

[vestan]

Called it

It was always gonna be a September release, those thinking it was August were smoking the good stuff

 

[Stalker]

The Gold Skin Weapon Pack sounds like a troll. That's late 2000s EA stuff right there.

It's the exact same preorder content as BL2

 

[RoKKeR]

I'm very in.

Like there's any doubt it's gonna be ps4/Xbox one/EGS

*gasp* ONE entire golden key? that is a deal you cannot miss

Eh, I would much rather they do that to be quite honest. Some trivial bollocks for pre-order is exactly how I like them to be.

Oh, please don't tell me that they're bringing back the golden key system from BL2. That was garbage.

(Although given that the Twitter ads prominently feature keys with the exact same design... barf)

if it uses egs, than 2k has to pay for the matchmaking servers, it may not be worth it for a game people will play for years. I say a 50/50 ods on egs v steam.

That's what they want you to think.

That bundle had the Fireworks Grenade mod which was hella OP for like the first 30 levels
