"We’re not going to be making people wait for a long time before we announce it," says Randy Pitchford of Gearbox's next game.
The leaker who previously claimed Borderlands 4 will be announced at the event is no longer sure that will be the case, while Civilization 7 was recently spotted on 2K's official website.
2K has previously confirmed that it will unveil the next instalment in one if its "biggest and most beloved" franchises at the event.
Borderlands 4 or Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 from Gearbox Entertainment may be it, but Hangar 13's long-rumored Mafia 4 is also possible.
VR strategy game Homeworld: Vast Reaches will tell its own unique story in the Homeworld setting, and allow players to experience massive space battles.
The classic RTS series Homeworld is getting a VR-based spin-off that tells a completely new story.
The company confirmed reports of layoffs after its $460 million sale to Take-Two Interactive, though it didn't comment on their extent.
Of the five sequels that are in development, only one – Homeworld 3 – has been officially announced thus far.
Within hours of news breaking that Gearbox had been sold by Embracer Group, several staff members were informed they were being laid off.
"We have loved partnering with Gearbox on every iteration of the Borderlands franchise and are excited to be in active development on the next installment in the series," says 2K president David Ismai...
Both sequels have made good progress, though the mood at Gearbox is uncertain following layoffs, hiring freezes and whatnot.
CEO Randy Pitchford reportedly told employees this week in a town hall that the studio had reached a decision on its future.
Saints Row developer Volition also allegedly had an opportunity to go private, but the deal fell through, per Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
"I can't wait, but it's not time yet. It's not time yet. There will be a time," says Gearbox CEO and co-founder Randy Pitchford.
The Gearbox Entertainment-owned studio, which has previously provided development support on Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Diablo 4, employed over 400 people prior to layoffs.
Both titles – currently unannounced – have been mentioned on a former Gearbox Entertainment employee's LinkedIn page.
With Gearbox put up for sale by parent company Embracer Group, the studio says going independent is another option currently under consideration.
Embracer Group acquired the Borderlands developer in 2021, in a deal worth $1.4 billion.
It includes the base game, four DLC packs, the Designer's Cut and Director's Cut, and more than 30 cosmetics for $59.99.
The looter shooter sold an addition 1 million units during the previous quarter, Take-Two Interactive confirms.
