Summary
Borderlandsas a franchise has been in an interesting spot for a while now, as it has reprised itsTalesseries after a long time of inactivity,Borderlands 4is likely the series' next big project, and there could also be more spin-offs on the horizon afterTiny Tina’s Wonderlands. There are many projects that the franchise could announce in the early months of 2024, and with a big feature film in the works, there’s a chance that marketing efforts on Gearbox’s part may be directed toward these new titles.Borderlandsgamesfrom the mainline series have been on hiatus for a while now, and it only makes sense for 2024 to be a big year for the franchise, even if no new releases drop.
Borderlands 4 Announcement and Reveal in 2024
One of the biggest points of discussion for fans of the franchise is whetherBorderlands 4is coming or not, and with recent leaks seemingly proving that Gearbox is indeed working on it, officially announcing it when the time is right would be the best move. It feels inevitable that anotherBorderlandssees the light of day, it’s more of a matter of when and what exactly it’s about.
One possibility is that the game will simply be a new mainline entry in the series, withBorderlands 4’s villain, main characters, and typical gameplay delivering an experience that expands on the events ofBL3while also laying the grounds for another title in the future - or DLCs. Another option could be that the nextBorderlandsgoes full MMO if it wants to make good on an old promise made inBorderlands: The Pre-Sequel, where Gearbox dropped the so-called “Watcher’s War.” Either way,Borderlands 4seems like a possible release for 2025or 2026, if not sooner, and dropping an announcement and release trailer in 2024 seems the next logical step for Gearbox.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2, Other Spin-Offs
It’s no mystery thatTiny Tina’s Wonderlandswas as much of a success as it was a huge disappointment. The concept of the game was a nostalgia boost for those who loved Assault on Dragon Keep inBL2, and while the base game was a good entry in the series, its post-launch content left much to be desired and it felt like an under-delivery of what was originally promised - or at least what players thought was coming. Still,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2was leaked alongsideBorderlands 4, and it too seems a likely project for Gearbox to undertake. While it’s probably further out thanBL4, it could still see an official announcement in 2024, or a different spin-off game could take its place, like aTales From the Borderlandstitle.
The Borderlands Movie Releasing on May 25, 2025
The only confirmed big release for the franchise next year is theBorderlandsmovie coming in the summer of 2024, specifically on August 9, as announced by Lionsgate. Based on the director Eli Roth’s comments, theBorderlandsmovie shares DNA with Marvelprojects, meaning that it will be very similar to the games in some regards, but also have its creative liberties and establish its own canon. With a cast including Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Jaime Lee Curtis as Tannis, and Jack Black as Claptrap, theBorderlandsfilm might very well be a big hit a laSuper Mario Bros. Movie.
Ongoing Support For Borderlands 3, More
As the recentfree Key drops forBorderlands 3prove, Gearbox will still offer new updates for the games in the franchise for the foreseeable future. 2023 included a Switch patch forBL3, for example, as well as the release of the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box. Players can expect more of this type of thing in 2024 and beyond, regardless of new games being released.
