It's official! The next Borderlands game isn't Borderlands, but is instead a spin-off that goes full fantasy as Tiny Tina leads a gang of adventurers into battle against the evil Dragon Lord. In addition to Ashly Burch who returns to voice the maniacal explosives expert, Wonderlands also features the voices of Andy Samberg, Wanda Sykes, and Will Arnett for this latest round of Bunkers and Badasses.
Just like the Easter bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and the Queen of England, I still refuse to believe in the existence of the Borderlands movie. It has a cast which is punching well above its weight, and if the first teaser image of Cate Blanchett as the Siren Lillith is anything to go by, this Eli Roth-directed film is going to win plenty of love from fans for at least nailing the look of its characters properly.
Publisher 2K game apparently has a bunch of games up its metaphorical sleeves to reveal at E3, and it looks like a return to Borderlands is going to be one of those reveals.
I still refuse to believe that the Borderlands movie is happening, but here we are. Eli Roth calling the shots behind the camera, a stacked cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart as headliners, and a classic story of treasure hunters on a backwards alien planet looking to score some sweet loot from an alien vault.
Borderlands 3 launched in 2019, rolled out a quartet of DLC expansions after arrival, and is currently available as a director's cut featuring a whole bunch of extra content. It's also a hugely successful game for developer Gearbox, having earned it rave reviews alongside dumptrucks of money. So what's next for the franchise? Nothing at all.
In the lasciviously-titled document "Epic Games Store: Review of Performance and Strategy, October 25, 2019", it was revealed that the company paid Take Two Interactive and Gearbox a staggering $115 million for the timed exclusivity PC launch of Borderlands 3 on the Epic Games Store.
Tales from the Borderlands deserved better, and now that it’s back on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the time to revisit one of the best stories in all of video games is primed and ready for action.
Never in a million years did I expect to see Gearbox’s cult classic loot ‘n shooter Borderlands make it to the big screen, let alone with a cast and crew that is the very definition of punching above your weight class.
