Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has sparked excitement within the gaming community with tantalizing hints about a new installment in the beloved Borderlands series. In a recent interview, Pitchford revealed that Gearbox is actively working on multiple projects, with a particular focus on what he describes as something that fans of Borderlands will be thrilled about. He hinted that an announcement for the next game could happen before the end of the year, stating, "I have the biggest and best team that I’ve ever had working on what we know is exactly what our fans want from us – so I’m very, very thrilled. I can’t wait to talk about it! I wish I could just gush right now because we’ve got so much to say!"
