Dopo le voci delle ultime ore, adesso la notizia è ufficiale: Gearbox non annuncerà Borderlands 3 durante l’E3 2018.
La conferma arriva da Randy Pitchford di Gearbox che, in una serie di tweet, spegne definitivamente tutti gli animi.
1/ Todd Robbins is an awesome performer who is a master of the side-show. He does stuff like hammer a nail into his face or eat a light bulb whole, which is real. He also does some magic, which is fake. I’m going somewhere with this…

2/ He once said (paraphrased), “When I make something vanish (which is a magic trick, and fake), people will swear that it is real. But when I eat a light bulb (which is not magic, and is real) people will swear that it is fake – a trick.”

3/ The point is that it is kind of a part of our species that we tend to hold on to what we *want* to believe while discounting the truth if it contradicts that – no matter the evidence. It takes a disciplined mind to see reality for what it is.

4/ For example, I could write it out now precisely and specifically that “Borderlands 3” will not be at E3 and many of you will choose not to believe it. Many of you will find a way to interpret the intent to suit what you want to believe regardless of what is true.

5/ In fact, this aspect of human nature is so powerful that it is more likely this thread will increase the volume of the debate rather than diminish it. It feels as if “Borderlands 3” may be destined to be the next Half-Life 3 in that regard.

6/ I *love* how important Borderlands is to so many of you. The developers of Gearbox Software are working harder than we have ever worked in order to create new and exciting things in hopes of entertaining you. Your passion fuels us. Thank you! I love you!

Mettiamoci dunque l’anima in pace, non ci sarà l’annuncio ufficiale di Borderlands 3 all’E3 2018.
Il gioco è comunque in sviluppo, solo che per avere un annuncio ufficiale dovremo attendere qualche evento successivo, magari il Gamescom di agosto.
