Everyone has this expectation that those would be the four DLCs and then that’s it. We’re going to do more. We’re going to do some other things.
“We did a Season Pass for Borderlands 2, and the Season Pass was like, ‘hey, if you buy the Season Pass we’re going to be doing four campaign DLCs, but you can get all four of them for the price of three if you buy upfront,’” Pitchford said about Borderlands. “So everyone has this expectation that those would be the four DLCs and then that’s it. We’re going to do more. We’re going to do some other things. We don’t have details yet about it exactly.”“
He added that “I’m not ready to announce what other things are” but that the recently-released Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep “won’t be the end of it.” He concluded by saying, “we’ve got more stuff in the hopper that we’re planning and that we’re getting pretty excited about. So if you are a Borderlands fan, you don’t have to be afraid that that’s the end of it.”Beyond Borderlands, Pitchford also confirmed that Gearbox is building an entirely new brand that it will position for release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
We are building an original IP for the next generation that we’ll announce sometime later.
“We are building an original IP for the next generation that we’ll announce sometime later,” he revealed. “Obviously we have Borderlands, we’ve got Brothers in Arms, we’ve got Duke Nukem and we acquired Homeworld recently. So we have all of those great brands, but we’re actually creating some new things that we’ll announce. So that will be something to look forward to.”“
Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep was released in June and you can read all about it in our review.
