Leaks for Borderlands 3 continue unabated and this time, we have the game’s release date, apparently pinned for September 13th. Additionally, while this is not entirely clear yet, the ad only shows the Epic Games Store logo instead of Steam’s, suggesting it may indeed be an exclusive on PC as some had surmised. For the record, Borderlands 3 is developed on Unreal Engine technology, which means that they won’t have to pay Epic the usual 5% royalty fee for any proceeds coming from the Epic Games Store.
For what it’s worth, just a couple days ago Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford didn’t deny the rumors surrounding a possible Epic Games Store exclusivity, though he did hint it might only be six months long instead of twelve as usual for the other games. He also pointed out the studio’s interest in cross-platform play, which could bode well for the feature being in Borderlands 3.
2K/Take-Two has exclusive publishing rights for Borderlands 3 and makes all decisions regarding price-points, territories, distribution and platform partnerships. Please direct all inquiries regarding any of those topics to 2K. We are *just* the talent.
As a customer, I’m happy to shop in different stores – already do! I’ve bought games from Xbox, Playstation, Switch, Steam, Origin, GOG, Humble, Uplay, Epic and other stores. To me, exclusives are fine when they come w/ advantages and when they are short – say, six months
For what it’s worth, 2K’s decisions aside, myself and the team at Gearbox have a very keen interest in cross-platform play. We believe multi-platform support is a pre-requisite and Epic’s leadership with cross-platform support is helpful to our interests there.
As spotted by the ever-vigilant Wario64, Borderlands 3 also got its cover art leaked for all the various editions.
There will be a Deluxe Edition, a Super Deluxe Edition and a Diamond Loot Chest Collector’s Edition, in addition to the Standard Edition, of course. We also know the contents of the Diamond Loot Chest Collector’s Edition (presumably the most expensive one), and there’s a Season Pass as well, unsurprisingly.

- Deluxe bonus content

We’ll know a lot more details about Borderlands 3, including the game’s full features set and likely pricing as well, later today at 6 AM Pacific Time as that’s when the official reveal is happening. Stay tuned and we’ll update this post accordingly.
