After a long journey through the desert, the incredible group Gearbox is finally getting its head above water. Goodbye Embracer hell, hello a new editor and a Borderlands 4 crazier than ever?
A large part of Gearbox will in any case change creameries, including the one handling the famous looter shooter franchise. With the colossal resources of a new major publisher in support, fans waiting for Borderlands 4 should finally be properly rewarded.

It Take-Two to make Borderlands 4
If we are to believe the terms of the agreement, Gearbox will retain control of the aforementioned intellectual properties. However, they will have enormous financial support. In its press release, Take-Two Interactive also mentions something that will make fans very happy. “ Gearbox and 2K actively developing the next installment of the Borderlands franchise “. Without saying it, we can easily understand that it is Borderlands 4. The studio could thus afford even more madness on this highly anticipated sequel. We of course hope in the good sense of the term, and without an economic model like NBA 2K.
If Randy is happy, everyone is happy?
The announcement of the takeover comes from Take-Two, but Gearbox and its founder Randy Pitchford also released a press release of their own. “ Joining the ranks of Take-Two/2K will help Gearbox take it to the next level. The publisher has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to our engine to generate creativity, happiness and profit. We've set the bar for interactive entertainment. We produced remarkable results with innovative and memorable games when we worked together as partners. I'm incredibly excited about what we can accomplish now that we're one “.
Remember that, in the past, certain Gearbox games were published by 2K. Now that the two houses are one, let's hope this bodes well for the future. In any case, the situation can't be worse than under the control of Embracer Group… right? If the development of Borderlands 4 is confirmed, however, you will have to be patient before seeing anything. Note that the Gearbox branch based in San Francisco still belongs to Embracer. This will inevitably have to change its name, and has great licenses like Remnant or Hyper Light Breaker. Good luck to them.
