It’s been a while since we’d heard anything new from Gearbox Software on its original open-world sci-fi shooter Borderlands. But 2K Games says the delayed title is “still on the radar” for a 2009 [[link]] release.
That’s according to 2K Games reps who tell CVG the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC game is still on the 2009 slate. Parent company Take-Two said as much when it announced it’s most recent quarterly earnings, estimating Borderlands‘ time of arrival as before October 31, 2009.
Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s been a long time coming — our first impressions of Borderlands are from August 2007, when we saw the game in action at the Leipzig Games Convention — that’s giving potential fans worry. Perhaps it’s the somewhat hazy status of Sega’s Aliens games, one of which is in development at Gearbox.
But when you’ve [[link]] gotta come up with 500,000 guns for your game, well, it takes a while.
