Gearbox’s Unannounced Games Tease Exciting Future
In an unexpected turn of events, details about several unannounced Gearbox games have leaked online. Although the information has since been removed, a developer from support studio Lost Boys Interactive mentioned the existence of Borderlands 4, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2, and a new Brothers in Arms game. All of these titles are said to be built using Unreal Engine 4.
While fans eagerly await the official announcements from Gearbox, the parent company Embracer Group has been facing its own set of challenges. Embracer is currently undergoing a significant restructure, which has led to layoffs, studio closures, and the cancellation of projects. In recent weeks, the company has been actively seeking a buyer for Gearbox, but reports suggest that finding one at the desired price has proven difficult.
It is important to note that the ongoing restructure at Embracer may have had an impact on the status of these unannounced games. The company recently confirmed a reduction in internal and external developer headcount, as well as the cancellation of a number of undisclosed projects across various subsidiaries.
While Borderlands 4 seems likely to continue development, the fate of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2 and the new Brothers in Arms game remains uncertain. However, it’s worth remembering that Gearbox has a strong track record with the Borderlands franchise. Borderlands 3 received high praise upon its release, with IGN awarding it a 9/10 for its impressive weaponry, humor, and engaging missions.
Fans of the series will also recall the positive reception of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, a fantasy spinoff that garnered an 8/10 rating. The success of this game has already set the stage for future experiences within the franchise.
As for Brothers in Arms, while the last mainline game was released in 2008, previous attempts at a new installment were met with mixed reactions. The cancelled Furious 4 project was transformed into the ill-fated hero shooter Battleborn. Despite this, Gearbox’s CEO Randy Pitchford has consistently expressed his intentions to revive the series.
While we await official announcements from Gearbox, it’s clear that exciting times lie ahead for fans of their renowned franchises. The leaked information has bolstered anticipation for what could be the next chapter in the Borderlands, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and Brothers in Arms sagas.
