Boston's PAX is about to kick off and the festivities will be led by a long-awaited title from Gearbox. To start PAX East, the studio is hosting a livestream introducing the world to Borderlands 3 and you can watch along with the Shacknews crew right here to see what's coming next in the shooter series.
Gearbox teased onlookers with a stylized image previously, only hinting at a potential reveal for the long-awaited third main entry in the Borderlands franchise. Soon after, the team explicitly declared that Borderlands 3 would be the top of the upcoming stream with the Mask of Mayhem trailer. Today, March 28, the Gearbox crew is hosting a PAX East 2019 panel where the game will officially be revealed. It starts at 2 PM ET and you can watch it below.
The Gearbox PAX East 2019 panel, including the reveal of Borderlands 3, will be taking place at the event but also live-streamed on official Gearbox YouTube and Twitch channels. The stream will run for one hour, from 2 PM ET to 3 PM ET, on March 28, 2019.
Up until now, news regarding Borderlands 3 has just been a series of disappointing announcements that it wouldn't be appearing at other events. The most recent releases for the series were Tales from the Borderlands, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, and Borderlands 2 VR. There was also a cool moment where Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford told Elon Musk that the Boring Company flamethrower would be added to the next Borderlands game. Will that conversation bear any real fruit? We'll have to wait and see.
Be sure to head over to Chatty during or after the Borderlands 3 reveal from Gearbox and let us know what you think. The previous entries have left a huge impression on those that enjoyed it and it will be interesting to see what direction the new game takes and what fresh new ideas will get added to the formula. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional gaming and tech updates from PAX East 2019.
