You'd think that with the success of Borderlands 2, Gearbox would already be hard at work on Borderlands 3, but that isn't the case. "I'm not going to fuck around with you like Valve does with Half-Life 3," Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford told Polygon. "We know we want it and we know it should exist, but we don't know what it is yet."

You have to appreciate the honesty. It's not like we won't get another Borderlands it's just too early at this stage for Gearbox to talk about it in any concrete way. Loosely speaking, Pitchford added that he knows that the game should be "next-gen" and "probably crazy multi-platform." He also said that it should be bigger and better than Borderlands 2, and follow up Borderlands 2's story. That's certainly what we're expecting given the future beyond planet Pandora that's hinted at in the end of Borderlands 2.

Pitchford did imply, however, that more Borderlands things are afoot at Gearbox, even if the developer hasn't begun work on a fully fledged sequel. "We are doing things in Borderlands that we'll announce soon, that are good, and that I think people will be really excited about if you love the franchise," he said. There's also Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands, expected to release in 2014.

Aside from Borderlands, Pitchford said that Gearbox is working on two, yet-to-be-revealed games, unrelated to existing franchises. And this on top of its Furious Four, another Brothers in Arms game, remastered editions of both Homeworlds and Homeworld: Shipbreakers.

As we reported yesterday, Sir Hammerlock Versus the Son of Crawmerax will be the last piece of DLC for Borderlands 2. We also have some ideas of our own about what we want from Borderlands 3.

It's going to be hard to say goodbye, but 2K has announced that Sir Hammerlock Versus the Son of Crawmerax will be the last piece of DLC for Borderlands 2. Set to release via Steam on April 15, this fifth Headhunter pack will sell for $3.

Sir Hammerlock Versus the son of Crawmerax adds a new area to the game, a tropical island vacation spot called Wam Bam Island. You'll journey across the island, putting bullets in things, collecting loot, and eventually face Crawmerax Jr., son of the great crab worm from The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC for the original Borderlands. Crawmerax Jr. "is seeking vengeance on Lilith, Brick and Mordercai for brutally defeating his father over and over again," 2k said on its blog. "You must fight him off without their help so, you may want to call some friends to help you out with this one."

Borderlands 2 was released in September 2012 and has since received a steady stream of additional content. You can get the base game from Steam from for $20, or the Game of the Year edition for $40, which also includes all the DLC that was part of the games' Season Pass. Gearbox has done a great job of supporting the game after launch, so there is also a ton of content you can buy beyond that.
