Perfect timing. ]]>Borderlands 4 has been announced at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live show, the perfect time for a reveal after a disaster class in Hollywood.
The Borderlands movie has been one of the biggest flops of the year, but the franchise itself is still going strong, with the planned release of Borderlands 4 in 2025 ready to give the series a new lease on life. Not a ton was shown for Borderlands 4 beyond a teaser trailer, which showed what looked like the moon Elpis tearing through the skin and asteroids raining down onto the ground—with a robotic figure then picking up a psycho mask. Lore-hounds will also note Lilith’s firehawk emblem in the sky just before Elpis appears, possibly indicating that the scene at the end of Borderlands 3‘s campaign was Lilith not destroying Elpis and the great vault, but rather phase-shifting it somewhere else in the universe—and likely setting up the events of Borderlands 4.

Reloading with a digital push.]]>The Borderlands movie didn’t quite manage to capture audiences’ hearts despite boasting quite a stellar cast led by Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, and now it’s making a beeline to streaming to try and make back any money.
Brace yourselves—this cinematic adventure is set to hit the digital scene by late August. Its swift pivot to online platforms follows a lackluster box office debut, leaving much to be desired among fans and critics alike. Within a mere month of hitting theaters, where it opened with a stark zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes—only nudging up to 10 percent since—Borderlands is racing to redeem itself, and quickly.

It was quite hefty. ]]>The Borderlands movie premiered worldwide on Aug. 9, but its opening weekend was far from financially successful, leading some to wonder what the film’s budget was—and we’ve got the answer.
The latest Eli Roth production made only $8,800,000 on its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo, which, for a summer blockbuster, is a horrible result, especially when paired with Borderlands’ awful reviews. If the film’s earnings don’t improve, it may not cover its giant production budget.

It's a disaster. ]]>Borderlands was released in cinemas worldwide last weekend, and in addition to being blasted with negative reviews, its opening weekend was a massive flop financially.
The latest Eli Roth picture opened in 3,125 theaters on Aug. 9 but amassed only $8,800,000 over its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. The Borderlands movie made the most on its release day, boasting four million dollars worldwide, with the remaining two days earning just over two million each.

It's been a while, Vault Hunter.]]>Borderlands content is everywhere right now as Gearbox Software has launched the brand-new Aug. 8, 2024 update to capitalize on the release of the long-awaited Borderlands film.
It’s no secret the Borderlands film and its somewhat puzzling cast haven’t generated the most positive reviews. There’s even a sense among fans it has returned us to the dark ages of video game movies. Nevertheless, a successful piece of Borderlands media everyone still talks about is the third mainline iteration of the long-running franchise—Borderlands 3.
]]>Take your seats. ]]>The Borderlands movie hasn’t set the world alight with early reviews, but fans of the franchise are still likely to tune in. As with any new film, though, a big question is whether it has a post-credits scene—and we can tell you.
Marvel’s Cinematic Universe started the trend of post-credits scenes, often providing huge reveals of future titles, and many others have followed suit. They’re not always big teases, however, and are sometimes just jokes or tongue-in-cheek comments.

Who would've thought? ]]>The Borderlands movie is right around the corner, with its widespread release scheduled for tomorrow, Aug. 9. The initial reviews are in, and they are about as bad as they could get.
“Is it too soon to call Borderlands the worst movie of ’24?” Peter Howell, movie critic at the Toronto Star, asked on X, in what is just one of the many stinging reviews of the flick. “This gobbler mixes inept directing, terrible writing, indifferent acting and gawdawful CGI into such stupefying boredom, it feels nothing could top it for badness,” he added.

I just want Handsome Jack back.]]>The next mainline Borderlands game might be announced very soon if Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford’s words are to be taken at face value. After all, the timing seems to line up—the Borderlands movie is right around the corner, and we had Borderlands 3 a good five years back.
“I’m confident that our fans are going to be very, very happy with the next video game project when we are ready to announce it,” Pitchford told GamesRadar in a July 27 interview. “I will tell you that we’re not going to be making people wait for a long time before we announce it.”
