The day is young, my hype is fresh and it’s time to wax lyrical about what we can probably expect to see in the threequel that is Borderlands 3.

Did all those various clues released over the last week have you chomping at the bit for a game that rhymes with Schmorderlands Free? Well good news pal! Because here it is. Get your wub wub ready.

Does the original Borderlands deserve a second shot at life? Well Gearbox certainly thinks so, as they’re giving the first trip to Pandora a makeover to celebrate its original release on ye olde PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from back in the day. Here’s how it looks in action.

Borderlands 3 was always an inevitable project, but Gearbox needs a game to put some wins back in their tank after the last couple of years saw them in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. From the disaster that was Aliens: Colonial Marines to allegations of the shadiest business ethics around, Gearbox is in dire need of some rejuvenation. Which may finally come at the end of the month.

It looks like a proper version of the first Borderlands is on the way to current-gen consoles, complete with all of the ludicrous DLC campaigns that made it so memorable back in 2009.

Gearbox, the studio behind first-person shooters such as Aliens: Colonial Marines and the Borderlands franchise, is facing numerous legal battles thanks to accusations leveled between the former general counsel, and its current CEO. The accusations laid out against the studio’s former lawyer Wade Callender, and its current CEO Randy Pitchford include violating their legal duties to the company, as well …

Here’s some new salt to take a liberal pinch of and throw on top of the pile, as YouTube channel The Know apparently got the hottest of scoops and managed to snag some details on the core four characters of Borderlands 3 via their anonymous source.

While Gearbox didn’t show off Borderlands in any guide, we did get to go hands on with its new shooter. Called Project 1v1, it does – as its name suggests – pit two players against each other. Reminiscent of games like Quake Arena and Unreal Tournament, it’s a fast-paced arena shooter with a focus on skill.
