Borderlands 3 has been in development at Gearbox Software for five years at two different studios. It has become the worst kept secret in the video game industry.

Borderlands 3 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. It currently has no release date at this stage, though Gearbox says they’ll have more to talk about on April 4. We’ll keep you posted.
