Borderlands 3 is coming in September, and – as with many of you – it’s easily one of the games I’m most looking forward to. Tomorrow, Gearbox is hosting a “Celebration of Togetherness,” online – with no information on just what that celebration might entail. There’s no word on a Twitch Stream, or anything resembling a physical event, just a generalised internet invitation to the “event.”
In a follow-up tweet, the Borderlands account suggesting that players “Tag your plus one in the replies!”
Of course, Borderlands has always been a co-operative game, where playing with others greatly enhances the experience, but the fact that they’re making such a big deal of things this time around has set expectations that tomorrow (at 4 pm South African time) we’ll finally get confirmation that Borderlands 3 will have cross-platform co-operative play.
Cross-platform co-op is one of the game’s big rumoured features. In April this year, when speaking out against Epic Store exclusivity haters, Gearboss Randy Pitchford seemed to suggest that cross-platform play was coming.
“For what it’s worth, 2K’s decisions aside, myself and the team at Gearbox have a very keen interest in cross-platform play. We believe multi-platform support is a pre-requisite and Epic’s leadership with cross platform support is helpful to our interests there.”
The Xbox One listing for the game also showed “Cross-platform co-op” as a feature. Hopefully, we find out tomorrow if it’s indeed happening. And if it is, I hope that Sony’s come to the party to let PC, Xbox and PlayStation players celebrate togetherness.

“Togetherness, except for you Steam people, cuz the money from Epic is allowing me to buy more secure flash drives” probably Randy Pitchford.
I really like the game, and am thoroughly enjoying playing 2 again.
But sometimes Randy, just needs to not open his mouth.
