“There is something special about seeing an idea start and
watching that idea go through multiple people who each contribute
their effort and their talent to make the idea a reality,” wrote
Borderlands 3 Creative Director Paul Sage in an open letter
to fans published earlier today. “I cannot stress enough how
the team has come together to make sure we have produced a worthy
successor to Borderlands 2, but I hope more than just feeling the
team’s passion, more than getting to experience the next
Borderlands, you get to sit down, laugh a little, and just have a
damn good time.”
Early critics agree, Borderlands is back and better than
ever. IGN awarded Borderlands 3 a 9/10, noting “its arsenal
of fun is unmatched.” Meristation proclaimed the game is “destined
to become a classic,” while Shacknews deemed it “an absolute
masterpiece.” Destructoid described Borderlands 3 as “a
hallmark of excellence,” and USgamer called the game “an absolute
blast.”
The franchise, which combines the exhilarating action of a
first-person shooter with the rich progression and loot systems of
a role-playing game, has sold-in more than 48 million units
worldwide to date. The most popular title in the series –
Borderlands 2 – still draws in more than one million unique
monthly users more than six years after the game’s initial release
in 2012.
Borderlands 3 expands and improves many of the key
features that made the series a critical and commercial success,
while also introducing innovative new concepts to its proven
formula, including:
- A Mayhem-Fueled Thrill Ride: The fanatical Calypso Twins
have united the bandit clans and are closing in on the galaxy’s
ultimate power. Only you, a thrill-seeking Vault Hunter, have the
arsenal and allies to take them down. Uncover the rewarding
mysteries, memorable inhabitants, and deep lore of the extensive
Borderlands narrative universe.
- Your Vault Hunter, Your Playstyle: Become one of four
extraordinary new Vault Hunters, each with unique abilities and
playstyles, deep skill trees, and tons of personalization
options.
- Lock, Load, and Loot: With multiple distinct weapons
manufacturers, a revolutionary content generation system, and
special legendary drops to uncover, your ever-improving arsenal
comes with near-infinite possibilities. Shotguns with bullet
shields? Rifles with multiple elemental damage types? SMGs that
grow legs and chase down enemies? All of the above!
- New Borderlands: Discover new worlds beyond Pandora,
each featuring unique environments to explore and enemies to
destroy. Tear through hostile deserts, battle your way across
war-torn cityscapes, navigate deadly bayous, and more!
- Quick & Seamless Co-Op Action: With the new
“level-sync” system, the experience seamlessly scales for each
individual player. That means you can play with anyone at any time
online or in split-screen co-op, regardless of your level or
mission progress. Plus, when you take down enemies and challenges
as a team, “loot instancing” ensures you reap rewards that are
yours alone – no one misses out on loot.
With multiple editions chock-full of digital bonus content, fans
can pick the loot-splosion that’s right for them: the
Borderlands 3 Standard Edition is available for $59.99 and
includes the base game. The Borderlands 3 Deluxe Edition is
available for $79.99 and includes the base game, as well as the
following bonus digital content: Retro Cosmetic Pack, Neon Cosmetic
Pack, Gearbox Cosmetic Pack, Toy Box Weapon Pack, and XP & Loot
Drop Boost Mods.
Finally, the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition is
available for $99.99 and includes all the bonus digital content of
the Deluxe Edition plus the Borderlands 3 Season Pass, which
includes: four (4) campaign DLC packs featuring new stories,
missions and challenges; Butt Stallion weapon skin, weapon trinket,
and grenade mod. Please note that starting September 17,
2019, the digital version of Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe
Edition will update to the full MSRP of $119.99.
Developed from the ground up with AMD, Borderlands 3 will
take full advantage of the most powerful PC hardware available, and
is optimized for top performance and incredible gaming experiences
on AMD Radeon™ graphics cards and Ryzen™ processors. Please note
that, while Borderlands 3 is currently available on PC

for Mature” by the ESRB. For more information on Borderlands
