The Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut add-on has been delayed until April 8, Gearbox Software announced Thursday.
Gearbox cited the recent cold in Texas, where the studio is located, which led to widespread power outages and property damage, and at least 70 deaths, according to a February report by the Associated Press.
“Fortunately, all of our team members and their families are safe and healthy,” Gearbox said. ‘But our work on Director’s Cut was inevitably disrupted and we finally decided to move the release date to ensure we deliver the best possible experience. We appreciate your understanding, and we’ve excited to see you play Director’s Cut when it’s released next month. ”
Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut promises to add a new raid, new items and more as the second half of the new season’s content.
If you think this is the end of the road for Borderlands, think again. Randy Pitchford, head of the gearbox, said that other studios owned by Embracer Group, which recently acquired Gearbox for $ 1.3 billion, could make their own Borderlands universe games in the future. Do not forget that Tales From the Borderlands, the story-driven cult hit of Telltale Games, is on sale again for the first time since 2019.
Editor’s Note: This article previously said that Director’s Cut would add new skill trees, but it’s not part of this DLC, and new skill trees were in fact part of the Designer’s Cut content.
