The Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut add-on has been postponed to April 8, Gearbox Software announced Thursday.
Gearbox cited the recent cold snap in Texas, where the studio is located, which resulted in widespread power outages and property damage, and at least 70 deaths, according to a February post from the Associated Press.
“Fortunately, all of our team members and their families are safe and healthy,” said Gearbox. “But our work at Director’s Cut was inevitably interrupted and we decided to change the release date to ensure that we deliver the best experience possible. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to playing the Director’s version when it launches next month. “
Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut promises to add a new raid boss, new items and more in the second half of the new content season.
If you think this is the end of the road to Borderlands, think again. Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford said other studios belonging to the Embracer Group, which recently acquired Gearbox for $ 1.3 billion, could make their own games in the Borderlands universe in the future. Don’t forget that Tales From the Borderlands, Telltale Games’ cult hit, is back on sale for the first time since 2019.
Editor’s Note: This article previously stated that the Director’s Cut would add new skill trees, however, they are not part of this DLC and the new skill trees were actually part of the content of the Designer’s Cut.
