Gearbox Software has confirmed that the studio has a team working on future "Borderland" titles. However, it seems fans of the "Borderlands" franchise will have to wait longer for the next installment to be released.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford told IGN last July 2015 that while the studio is ready to work on the newest installment, they haven't determine the game's focus yet. This means that while a new title has been confirmed, its release date would not be anytime soon.

Since then, official announcements for "Borderlands 3" have been very scarce. For the past year, it seems that the game developer has also focused more on "Battleborn," a hero shooter game to be released this May.

Last February, 2K Games producer Chris Thomas also revealed that the team working on "Battleborn" would most likely be the ones to work on "Borderlands 3" as well.

"I imagine it would be the same team. Almost every time we've workd with Gearbox, they've used most of their studio for the games that we're working on because the games that we put out tend to be huge AAA titles and that's just generally their Mission Objective. They're going to throw as many of their good guys as they can at it," Thomas told Prankster 101.

Pitchfold has also been recruiting new members to join Gearbox and work on the upcoming "Borderlands" title.

Given Thomas' revelation, it seems that Gearbox will only start working on "Borderlands 3" after it has launched "Battleborn." While a further delay may be disappointing to fans, the good news is that "Battleborn" will be released just two months from now.

Hopefully, Gearbox will start making "Borderlands 3" announcements in the coming months. Be sure to check back for all the latest news and updates.

"Borderlands" will be made available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
