Borderlands 3 is a first-person shooter with RPG elements, which like its predecessors is developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It stars four new Vault Hunters – Moze the gunner, Amara the siren, FL4K the beastmaster, and Zane the operative – who seek to stop the fanatical Calypso Twins from claiming the galaxy’s ultimate power.

For the first time, the game features new worlds beyond the planet of Pandora, each with their own unique environments and enemies. As usual, there are endless guns to loot – including ones which grow legs and chase down enemies while hurling insults – and with alternate firing modes at that. Borderlands 3 supports both online and offline (split-screen) co-op.
