Gearbox confirms Borderlands 3 launches on September 13, 2019; Epic Games Store exclusive [Read Staff Post(s)]

[vestan]

Thought it'd be worth making a new thread as this YouTube ad was posted an hour ago but clearly wasn't supposed to go up until tomorrow. It confirms Epic Games Store exclusivity, the main cover art and the release date. Video of it below.

Going it assume there's a six month exclusivity clause in place going by Randy's tweets.

Also the new vault hunters are

• Moze
• FL4K
• Amara
• Zane

"Here we go..."

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

Closer than I expected, superb.

 

[Deleted member 19924]

Poof.

 

[Deleted member 41931]

Still no consoles is weird. Maybe Epic paid for marketing rights?

 

[bsigg]

Yo that's soon

 

[Jeff6851]

Guess I'll get a used copy on Xbox assuming it's not just marketing rights

 

[Richter1887]

Fucking Epic

 

[ChoklitCow]

Excited to play. Been trying to get back into BL2 but just can't get past the slow beginning.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Fucking all in baby!

 

[Ryuelli]

That's right around the corner. I have no problem with it being an Epic Exclusive for a bit, will definitely pick it up.

I've only really played Borderlands 1. If I wanted to jump back into the series before 3, should I start with 2 or play the Pre-Sequel?

 

[Becks']

FUCK

I have other games on Steam. I guess I'll wait.

I'll probably change my mind at the end and buy it.

I was gonna say. Epic can pay to keep this off Steam for some time, but there's no way they can do that for Steam & PS4 & XBO.

 

[hydruxo]

Awesome. In day 1 on PS4.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

So glad it's coming sooner rather than later. Can't wait.

 

[bonch00ski]

seeing how popular Borderlands is i can only imagine Epic paid a pretty penny for exclusivity. this was gonna sell great on pc regardless

 

[Ximonz]

I can wait six months... I guess...

 

[Bhonar]

kick butt! great news

 

[Toni]

I'll be there with you, gearbox.

 

[Yukinari]

Release the updated versions of 1/2 on steam to build hype.

Make 3 Epic Store exclusive. Enjoy your cash 2K you seem to be struggling a lot.

 

[NightShift]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

2019 is another fucking great year for video games!

 

[Chronos]

Well, Fuck

 

[Deleted member 3925]

There we go. Can't wait!

 

[Sim]

I guess that's a PC specific ad, since there aren't any console logos either.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Sounds like no bundle comes with BL1 Remastered. Oh well.

 

[Pyro]

Awesome!

We have already seen all the box art for PS4.

 

[Deleted member 3208]

Epic taking care of the little guys.

 

[JustInsane]

Oh man here we go...

Looks like the dusty Fortnite laucher will have some company. Day 1, it is what it is.

 

[--R]

Fucking hell.

 

[Dalik]

Once again, fuck epic and 2k.

I know it's coming to consoles. That's why it's weird Epic is the only platform listed in the trailer.

 

[JustJavi]

Can't wait until September!

 

[lexible]

 

[Plywood]

Disappointing.

 

[Crowh]

I guess I'm updating my Epic launcher...

 

[Strangelove_77]

I wish it were sooner. That being said - thank god they didn't announce it years ago and have been trickling down details and 100 trailers ever since. We could use less of that in the gaming industry.

 

[evrythngwastakn]

Disappointing.

Click to shrink...

Completely.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Not too long now. Where's the see staff post update?

 

[Kapryov]

I'm surprised the forum didn't crash with that thread title. Maybe we will survive after all.

 

[Trace]

And there it is.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Where does it confirm the exclusivity? I can't see it on the screens. Because it's also not listing the console versions.

Most era users are console gamers, they dont care.

 

[fracas]

gimme gimme gimme

day one on pc

 

[SchrodingerC]

I'm so happy it's launching this year.

I like the fallout 4 method of announcing games, makes the wait less painful lol.

second ss, epic logo

 

[ABK281]

Can't believe they delayed it for another year.

 

[kimbaka]

Meh, I'll get it for Steam in late 2020 when it's $12 as a Humble Monthly headliner.

 

[Imitation Of Life]

Man we have seen a lot of tough talking about boycotting. I'm curious to see how many follow through. Will be a painful wait.

 

[Nome]

Welp, they got me.
