We already know that 2K Games plans to announce a new game of one of its famous intellectual properties during the Summer Game Festbut now the rumors that point to take on substance Borderlands 4, which could actually be presented during the event scheduled for tomorrow evening, June 7th.
What was officially known, also through the words of Geoff Keighley, organizer of the event, is that during the Summer Game Fest 2K Games will present “the next chapter of one of its biggest and most beloved franchises”, which kept several possibilities open .
The doubt was mainly between two possible titles for the event: Mafia 4 or Borderlands 4, because we know that both are already in development and have yet to be officially announced to the public and presented in some form.
The game is definitely in development, the only thing missing is the presentation
It seems that the issue concerns Borderlands 4, based on what was reported by a leaker considered rather reliable. This is reported by Kurakasis, who claims that, based on “eXputer contacts” (the site for which he writes), he learned that the first presentation of Borderlands 4 will take place at the Summer Game Fest, on June 7th.
It is also possible that the game will actually be announced before, i.e. in the hours before the event, but also considering Geoff Keighley’s words, the idea is that the major presentation is scheduled for the evening of the Summer Game Fest, probably with a first announcement trailer.
Borderlands 4 had already been practically confirmed with the acquisition of Gearbox by Take-Two, with the president of 2K Games, David Ismailer, who in welcoming the team within the family had reported “We were thrilled to collaborate with Gearbox on every single installment of the Borderlands series and we’re thrilled to be involved now, with the next chapter in the series in development.”
At this point it’s time to see the game, somehow. We remind you that you can follow the evening from the Summer Game Fest live with us, starting from 11pm tomorrow, June 7th.
