Borderlands 3 is still the industry's worst kept secret, and yet we've passed another E3 without even a passing mention of title.
Since the Pre-Sequel, things have been relatively quiet on the Borderlands front. That hasn't stopped Gearbox head Randy Pitchford from confirming the game's development on multiple occasions however, and with E3 being the premier destination for all things announcement-related, it made sense for the threequel to make its debut.
Obviously that wasn't meant to be, as Borderlands 3 is still nowhere to be seen. Instead, Gearbox focussed on the upcoming We Happy Few, a brand new IP rooted in a Burgess-esque dystopia set in the United Kingdom.
In Borderlands' case, it's just something that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. We know it's being made, so why not show off an announcement trailer?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
