Borderlands 3 even begins in a way that’ll be instantly familiar to anyone who played any of the previous games.

Naturally, it’s an idea that I hope anyone who fights online in Mortal Kombat 11, uses frequently. Have mercy on me, guv’na.
That bit of promotional art doing the rounds and claiming that we'll finally see a reveal of the Suicide Squad game by the name of Outlaws? Yeah, that's totally fake.
All of that big content that BioWare promised would launch in April for Anthem? Yeah, that ain't coming this month or anytime soon.
