Gearbox May Have Spoiled The ‘Borderlands 3’ Release Date
In case you’ve been asleep for the past week, Gearbox finally unveiled Borderlands 3 at PAX East 2019. And despite the fact that a release date wasn’t given at the announcement, Gearbox may have leaked it on their own.
In a now-deleted tweet from the official Borderlands Twitter account, a tweet stated that “Mayhem is Coming September 13.”, with the tweet also encouraging fans to pre-order Borderlands 3 to gain access to the Gold Weapons Skin pack.
Of course, given the date that this was sent (April 1st), some speculate that this was an April Fool’s Joke by Gearbox. However, it’s also reasonable to say that Gearbox accidentally sent the tweet prematurely, as more information about the post-apocalyptic shooter is expected later this week. Plus, they did delete it.
In addition to that, in another deleted tweet, Gearbox also leaked that the game could potentially be an Epic Games Store exclusive upon launch. This seems to be supported by a series of tweets by Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford regarding exclusives.
Whatever the case may be, Gearbox is expected to reveal more about the game on April 3rd.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
