More about the Borderlands franchise
The Borderlands franchise has sold more than 87 million copies to date and received critical acclaim from reviewers and fans alike. With unforgettable characters, deep world-building, and more unique guns than can be counted, the franchise has cemented itself as a must-play series.
Despite the videogame franchise’s success, the more recent film adaptation didn’t do so hot. Coming off the success of more recent video game-to-TV adaptations, The Last of Us and Fallout, the bar was set high for the film to knock things out of the park. Unfortunately, the success wasn’t replicated.
Thankfully, with the arrival of Borderlands 4, the game is sure to erase the taste of the film adaptation from existence. With new planets, new characters, and new adventures to be had, the sky’s the limit for the continued success of the Borderlands franchise.
Borderlands 4 is available to wishlist now and currently rated RP for Rating Pending by the ESRB.
