Borderlands 4 is officially confirmed by 2K

 


Hours ago, information came out that Embracer Group sold Gearbox for $460 million to the giant Take-Two, which owns many well-known companies, such as 2K and Rockstar Games.

In the statement, it was confirmed that in addition to purchasing Gearbox, Take-Two now also owns successful franchises such as Borderlands, Homeworld, Risk of Rain, Brothers in Arms and Duke Nukem.

At the same time, in the statement, 2K confirmed once and for all that Borderlands 4 and another game in the franchise are in development, although it did not reveal any additional details.


"Gearbox currently has six key interactive entertainment projects in various stages of development, including five sequels, two of which are from the Borderlands and Homeworld franchises, and at least one exciting new intellectual property. In addition to these plans, Take-Two believes that there are incremental opportunities to invest in new projects and expand Gearbox's proven franchises."

2K's current president, David Ismailer, also issued a statement about his experience working in partnership with Gearbox over the past few years and again confirmed the new Borderlands.

"With nearly 20 years of history working together, Gearbox has played a pivotal role in our success, given their unique ability to create interactive entertainment experiences that feature beloved characters, exciting new worlds and humorous narratives.

"We are thrilled to welcome Randy Pitchford and his team of talented and passionate developers to 2K, and we look forward to launching countless projects in the future as colleagues. We have loved collaborating with Gearbox on each iteration of the Borderlands franchise and are We're excited to be in active development on the next installment in the franchise."

Apparently, Borderlands 4 has been in development for a long time, so it's only a matter of time before the project gets its first official details, and of course, is definitively announced with videos and more.

Don't wear the Venom suit at the beginning of Spider-Man 2; understand

  With the launch of the New Game+ of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players noticed a curious detail right at the beginning of the campaign. It references Venom's costume and indicates a good reason for the public to discard this skin at least in the first hours of the adventure. Last weekend, a “bonus” Spider-Man costume went viral on social media. This is because, if players enable the symbiote's uniform to fight against Sandman, the result will be somewhat disastrous. Internet users are calling Peter Parker “Poo Man”, as the combination of the symbiote's properties with Flint Marko's sand considerably changes the color of his clothes. And well… This transformation may not be pleasant at all, especially if you take it literally. It is worth remembering that this context is not a bug, but rather a narrative event in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Whatever costume is used, it will be severely worn out in the fight against the Sandman boss. However, no one expected there to be such a g...

 The PlayStation 2 is to date Sony's biggest success and the best-selling console of all time. In the last official update we had from the company, it was stated that the hardware had passed the 155 million units sold mark. Now, during the newest episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast, which featured a special appearance from Jim Ryan himself, we have new data. During the program, the former head of PlayStation updated the numbers, stating that the console reached 160 million units sold. The number of 155 million was from March 2012, with the console having stopped being manufactured in January 2013. There may possibly no longer be a significant sales update, considering the lack of hardware availability. The hardware that came closest to the PS2 was the Nintendo DS portable, which reached 154 million units. The Nintendo Switch, meanwhile, is the third best-selling in history, currently at 139 million units. As this Nintendo hybrid is still active, it remains to be seen whethe...
