E3: Borderlands arrives this October News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

5 June, 2009

Gearbox Software plans to release action RPG Borderlands this October on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

One of the game's writers, Mikey Neumann, confirmed the date to GameSpot on the E3 show floor.

Borderlands, described as a cross between Diablo and Mad Max, had - once upon a time - brandished a Christmas 2008 release date. One reason Gearbox missed this was to completely overhaul the visual style of the game to a concept art look.

We got our first glimpse of this in May as well as a brand new trailer from E3.

Aside from the admittedly impressive appearance, Borderland's big claim is a randomly generated world, spanning quests, monsters, weapons, items and areas, and theoretically making the game infinitely replayable - either on solo or with friends.

Check out our E3 impressions of the game for more.

It's Gearbox so no doubt it will be delayed.

This time i will be waiting a week before buying. I was stung quite a few times with the crazy prize cuts last year too. Full price games being 50% cheaper sometimes only 1 week later.

The only exception to this rule was L4D which i held off buying for ages hoping for a similar price cut. Which never came /grrr...

@ZuluHero Just the once? Come on its Gearbox they need to delay at least a few times on any of their games. Going on past form I would actually say it's likely to come out October 2010

There's such a good load of games coming out the tail end of this year... I'm not sure my wallet will be able to handle it!

I dont worry about my wallet. Games are so cheap these days. I worry about the lack of time to play all these great games when they all come out at the same time.
