News The Borderlands Movie Barely Made Back Its Marketing Budget
Tough crowd
Gearbox's foray into the world of major motion pictures has not been the rousing success intended, failing to galvanize players to go outside and see the thing. With the film's bombing at the box office and its theatrical run now all but over, it seems Borderlands did manage back its marketing budget, so that's something. As reported by...
Random Gearbox Founder, CEO Compares Company to The Beatles, Gets Roasted
"The Beatles made bangers, you're currently making clangers"
Gearbox founder and CEO Randy Pitchford has defended recent Gearbox setbacks, like the catastrophic reception of the Borderlands film or the inexplicably poor state of Risk of Rain 2's latest DLC, Seekers of the Storm. Unfortunately for Pitchford,
News Borderlands 4 Announced, Coming to PS5 in 2025
Who could have four-seen it?
As teased recently by acclaimed movie producer Randy Pitchford, Borderlands 4 is real, and has just been announced with the above teaser trailer. Details on the project are slim as of right now, though going by the official description on YouTube, it sounds like we'll be exploring somewhere other than Pandora. "In this...
News Borderlands Movie Appears to Have Caused a Spike in Player Population, Which Is Something
Every cloud has a silver lining
With the Borderlands film roundly deemed a commercial and critical failure, we can't help but feel comforted by this nostalgic return to bad video game adaptations. The movie might not have made any money (and lost a bunch besides), but along with Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford having a real one on X, another upside is...
News Randy Pitchford Teases Borderlands 4 After Tirade Over Flop Movie Adaptation
Pitch unperfect
Randy Pitchford must feel quite conflicted at the moment. As the boss of Gearbox, the studio behind the Borderlands franchise, it must be quite mind-blowing to see the series you helped create get a big budget movie adaptation. However, considering the catastrophic opening weekend sales figures, we reckon it’s probably quite...
News Unsurprisingly, the Borderlands Movie Has Completely Bombed
Bored-er-blands
With Marvel’s extremely popular Deadpool & Wolverine dominating the Box Office, and It Ends Up with Us sucking up any remaining audience interest, Lionsgate’s panned Borderlands adaptation is on course to be one of the biggest Box Office busts in recent memory. The movie, made on a production and marketing budget of...
All Borderlands games on PlayStation, ranked and rated
Looking for the best Borderlands games? Since the series' inception on PS3 in 2009, Gearbox's cel-shaded co-op shooter has become a household name, merging Diablo-like loot gathering with chaotic first-person gunplay. To date, the series has spawned multiple instalments, some offering completely...
Guide Does the Borderlands Movie Have a Post-Credits Scene?
Sticking around
Those of you planning to see Borderlands in the cinema this week may be wondering if you should stick around until the credits finish. Many movies, especially those from Marvel, have popularised post-credits scenes, which add bonus context and content to the film you’ve just seen. Borderlands, however, isn’t one of them, and...
Movie Review Borderlands - As Bland As the Brand It's Based On
Craptrap
Borderlands isn’t an especially funny franchise, so it’s perhaps fitting this Eli Roth (Hostel) adaptation lacks laughs. The most puzzling thing about this picture is how it managed to assemble such an all-star cast: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Jamie Lee Curtis all unite to attempt to bring character to some of the most...

News The Last of Us HBO Showrunner Quietly Removes Name from Troubled Borderlands Flick
Back away, not today
It's never a good sign when your writer, who in this case happens to be one of Hollywood's hottest, takes steps to obfuscate their involvement with your project. That's precisely the case with the long-in-development Borderlands film, the original script for which was penned by Craig Mazin (The Last of Us, Chernobyl), who just...

News Borderlands 3 on PS5, PS4 Will Join the Crossplay Party Very Soon
Play with other platforms
If you play Borderlands 3 on PlayStation 5 or PS4, you're actually missing out on a feature all the other versions have — crossplay.

News Borderlands 3 Crossplay Kyboshed on PS5, PS4 by Publisher
But it's unclear why
Borderlands 3 is getting crossplay across all consoles and platforms – except it’s also not.

He states that an update for the looter shooter has been readied that “includes...
News Of Course Jack Black Plays Claptrap in the Borderlands Movie
But he looks nothing like the robot
In what might be the most obvious bit of movie casting in the past 24 hours, it has been confirmed that Jack Black will play the role of Claptrap in the upcoming Borderlands movie. Because of course he is. He joins Jamie Lee Curtis (Tannis), Kevin Hart (Roland), and Cate Blanchett (Lilith) as confirmed actors for...
News Borderlands Movie Lands Another Big Name with Jamie Lee Curtis
Meet Tannis
What's going on with this Borderlands movie adaptation?

As previously reported, comedian and actor Kevin Hart signed up to the project, and...
News Kevin Hart Joins the Cast of Upcoming Borderlands Movie
Film adaptation gets another big name
Yes, in case you weren't aware, Gearbox's popular Borderlands series is being adapted into a feature film.
