14 DAY TRIAL // Gearbox President Randy Pitchford says that the idea of making Borderlands 3 scares him, because his belief is that the game has to be so crazy and so big in order to meet everyone's expectations that it might be impossible to pull off.
"There's a point where it's like, 'What should the next Borderlands be? Should there be another Borderlands, and what should it be?' We had that discussion and there was this weird mixed bag. On one level it's like, 'Woah.' If you're going to do something that's called Borderlands 3 and it's going to be done in this next-generation environment, there's a whole bunch of ideas that come around of what has to happen in order for that to live up to what that needs to be," Pitchford says in the latest issue of Game Informer.
"If there's going to be a Borderlands 3 and what that would be. We imagine what that might be, and frankly it scared us. It's like, 'That's so crazy and so big that I'm not sure we can succeed,'" he adds.
The article suggests that, although the studio is by no means ruling out the possibility of making a Borderlands 3 game for this console generation, Gearbox has no current plans to do so, and is involved for now in making next year's first-person shooter / multiplayer online battle arena game Battleborn, that it has just announced, the best it can be.
