Borderlands 3 has gone gold, developer Gearbox Software announced. That means development is complete and the game is ready for mass production.

Here is an overview of the game, via publisher 2K Games:

About
The original shooter-looter returns, packing bazillions of guns and an all-new mayhem-fueled adventure! Blast through new worlds and enemies as one of four brand new Vault Hunters–the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization. Play solo or join with friends to take on insane enemies, collect loads of loot, and save your home from the most ruthless cult leaders in the galaxy.
What’s New

• A Mayhem-Fueled Thrill Ride:Stop the fanatical Calypso Twins from uniting the bandit clans and claiming the galaxy’s ultimate power. Only you, a thrill-seeking Vault Hunter, have the arsenal and allies to take them down.
• Your Vault Hunter, Your Playstyle:Become one of four extraordinary Vault Hunters, each with unique abilities and playstyles, deep skill trees, and tons of personalization options. All Vault Hunters are capable of awesome mayhem alone, but together, they are unstoppable.
  • Moze as The Gunner: When Moze needs backup, she digistructs her mech – Iron Bear – for a sucker punch of additional firepower.
  • Amara as The Siren: A confident, capable brawler with the ability to summon ethereal fists, Amara uses her Siren powers to smash her enemies.
  • FL4K as The Beastmaster:FL4K lives for the hunt. So do the loyal beasts that follow their master’s every command. Their preferred prey? Unsuspecting bandits, those poor suckers.
  • Zane as The Operative:Specializing in battlefield gadgetry, Zane is extremely proficient at slipping into combat, creating chaos, and sneaking back out as if he were never there.
• Lock, Load, and Loot: With bazillions of guns and gadgets, every fight is an opportunity to score new gear. Firearms with self-propelling bullet shields? Check. Rifles that spawn fire-spewing volcanoes? Obviously. Guns that grow legs and chase down enemies while hurling verbal insults? Yeah, got that too.
• New Borderlands: Discover new worlds beyond Pandora, each featuring unique environments to explore and enemies to destroy. Tear through hostile deserts, battle your way across wartorn cityscapes, navigate deadly bayous, and more!
• Quick & Seamless Co-Op Action:With a new level-sync system, the experience scales for each individual player. That means you can play with anyone at any time online or in split-screen coop, regardless of your level or mission progress. Take down enemies and challenges as a team, but reap rewards that are yours alone–no one misses out on loot.

What’s Back and Better Than Ever (Franchise Features)

• Bazillions of Guns: With multiple distinct weapons manufacturers, a revolutionary content generation system, and special legendary drops to uncover, your ever-improving arsenal comes with near-infinite possibilities.
• RPG Progression: Slay your foes, gain experience points, and build out extensive skill trees unique to each of the four Vault Hunters.
• Rich Universe: Uncover the rewarding mysteries, memorable inhabitants, and deep lore of the extensive Borderlands narrative universe.
• Intense Vehicular Combat: Get behind the wheel and engage in frenetic vehicle-to-vehicle combat.
• Radical Art Style: Traditional rendering techniques combined with hand-drawn textures give Borderlands its iconic style.

Gematsu

I wish the Intense Vehicular combat was like what we saw in Mad Max. Let's be real, the vehicles suck in Borderlands. And I'm hoping they figure out Fl4k's fourth pet summon ai as a free dlc.

My body is ready.

I'll be ready then!

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

Didn't Randy Pitchfucker say something about doing everything he could to pull out of the Epic deal if it still didn't have a shopping cart by now?

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Can't wait to see those lines said for CyberPunk

 

[Celcius]

Very cool to see the series continuing!
Going to be a long wait until April though.

Will there be HDR in the pc release? It's not listed as an upcoming title to have HDR.

HERPIDERPIDERPDERP

Yes, the Epic store is stupid, but at least you don't have to worry about it on your Nintendblow, so that's the one single plus for Nintendblow I guess.

That list is messed up. Gotta be. Doom does not have HDR

Still haven’t played a Borderlands game

Start with 2, you can get the base game for like nothing.

 

[Kagey K]

Ok now I want them to say they were fucking with us and the Sept release date was fake. Surprise launch tomorrow.

Come on Gearbox, you can do it.

This last 6 weeks is going to suck.

 

[M.W.]

Still haven’t played a Borderlands game

Dated shit. Like Randy Pitchford.

 

[DGrayson]

I wonder if there will be any way to transfer your characters between platforms / launchers

 

[Arun1910]

That means development is complete

Welllll..... doubt it. If anything it's ready to launch in a state where they can sell it. They're obviously going to keep on going for a long time.

 

[Tesseract]

is there any pvp in this, i actually really liked the pvp scene in the first game with the bubbles and count downs

we gambled our loot!

 

[Dontero]

I wonder how itemization changed. Because so far it doesn't seem to be any different than B2 aside from few gimmicks.
While B2 improved a lot other stuff, guns aspect of it was actually worse than B1 which had more interesting and weird guns.

No pvp in this one

 

[Trogdor1123]

I for one welcome our new Borderlands overlords

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Borderlands has always been a quality PvE shooter franchise. Glad to see it come back for this gen!

 

[Birdo]

I played it at Comic Con last week. Didn't really do anything for me. Just felt (And looked) like 2.

You'll probably enjoy it if you like the other ones though.

 

[Doom85]

Super hyped, can't wait to pick this up.

 

[Tygeezy]

That list is messed up. Gotta be. Doom does not have HDR

It's listed as hackable.

 

[Celcius]

System requirements are finally available: https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2019-08-27-bl3-pc-specs/

Looks like it continues the series tradition of not being tough to run

 

[zeorhymer]

I wonder if there will be any way to transfer your characters between platforms / launchers

Not possible. They can't do cloud saves.

Why is this gamefaq quality console warrior still around?

 

[Ixiah]

Wrong, if BL2 is any indication, its Gold in 3-4 Years, after Season Pass 2 and the seperate 6th Class DLC get released.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

waiting the GOTY edition for ps5 or pc

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Might as well place this here ..talks about end game stuff no story spoilers .

[CrisPy2019]

R.I.P Borderlands series. Welcome Borderline!

 

[jshackles]

"Going gold" is such a weird, archaic term to use in a modern gaming context. With day one patches and DLC, it's really just "Borderlands 3 version 1.0.0 released and ready to be stamped onto plastic discs for the few customers left that prefer it that way".

 

[Dthomp]

Man I'm excited for this to finally hit. Been waiting for a continuation of the story since I finished 2. Don't care about any of the outside shit, I just want to shoot shit, and loot a billion guns. BRING IT ON!
