'Borderlands 3' Release Date: May Be Released At PAX East With No Support For Nintendo Switch

"Borderlands 3" is an upcoming sequel to the higher popular "Borderlands 2" that was released in 2012. The game had huge sales figures and post-launch content. "Borderlands 3" is being anticipated by a lot of fans worldwide and Gearbox is working on the sequel.

The "Borderlands 3" was confirmed at PAX South 2015 by the Gearbox CEO. However, the new installment in the series might not be called "Borderlands 3," reported DigitalTrends. This might be true as Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford announced at PAX East 2016 that the game could be called something other than "Borderlands 3." Also, it is confirmed that "Borderlands 2" Art Director is also working on the "Borderlands 3."

"Borderlands 3" has not received an official release date. However, if the reports are to be believed, the new "Borderlands" could be announced at the Gearbox PAX East panel. This information has been revealed by the PAX East website.

The fans are eagerly waiting for "Borderlands 3" and it has many active players on Steam. The company behind "Borderlands 3" should have released the game now as Destiny and Division, which are two major games and are rivals of "Borderlands", are out. However, we might not see the sequel of "Borderlands 2" until 2018, reported Forbes.

"Borderlands 3" will not make it in the list of the games released for Nintendo Switch. This has been revealed by Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford in a tweet when a fan asked a question regarding the availability of the game on the console. Pitchford also said that the studio was in talks with Nintendo but Nintendo had some other plans and priorities so the "Borderlands 3" for Nintendo Switch is not in the development.

The official launch date for "Borderlands 3" is unavailable but the fans might see the game in the last of 2017 or in early 2018. The fans are eagerly waiting for the game because the last installment in the series was released around five years ago.
