Borderlands fans across the world were more than a little excited when Borderlands 3 was finally announced after years of wishing thinking.
Though the game has yet to hit store shelves it’s already looking set to be a firm favourite video game of 2019 for a lot of people, proving there’s life in the ol’ dog yet for Borderlands.
Thankfully, Borderlands 3 won’t be the last we see of the longstanding franchise – at least not according to the series’ main writers, Danny Homan and Sam Winkler.
Speaking with DualShockers, Homan and Winkler explained just how Borderlands 3 will tie in with the rest of the series, as well as the future of the franchise.
According to Winkler, Borderlands 3 is “definitely a successor to all the games” and will “tie off some threads” but don’t expect this to be the final chapter.
Winkler added that thanks to new fragments of story sprinkled throughout the upcoming title, it “definitely isn’t the end of Borderlands in any way.”
Homan added there’s “always room for more story in Borderlands,” and coyly teased that the the new game leaves enough unsolved for future games to pick up.
