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.

Last night saw plenty of attention suddenly thrust towards Sony and Take Two Interactive, as a rumour began circulating around the web that the Japanese giant was looking to spend an unreal amount of cash on the publisher. That proposed mega-merger? It ain’t happening.

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.

In an alternate universe, Gearbox could've made Halo 4 - and possibly left Borderlands 2 to languish.

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.

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.
