Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! will probably find its way to current-gen consoles

Speaking with GameReactorTV, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! developers explained why 2K Australia’s new game is making its début on last-gen consoles alongside the possibility it will eventually jump to Xbox One and PS4.

“I guess we’re full on developing the PS3, 360 and PC game, and we believe in that too,” developer Tony Lawrence said. “All the Borderlands 2 players are playing on those consoles. That’s the choice they’ve got. So we want to reward those guys. If fans say ‘hey, we’d really like this on a next-gen console’, well, we’ll think about that, but right now we’re concentrating on the consoles we know.”

“The vast majority of our fans still have their Xbox 360 [or PS3]. The other thing is it’s the middle game in a trilogy. Moving it on to next-gen and requiring people to buy new hardware to play the middle entry in a trilogy feels a little disingenuous and we sort of want to respect that,” Borderlands Franchise Director Matt Armstrong added. “As we said, one day maybe, I don’t know. We’ll think about that, see how people react to the game, how much fun they have and whether or not everyone moves on to the next gen fully next year. For now we’re pretty happy with our choice and I think people are going to be to.”

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! will be available from 14 October in North America and worldwide from 17 October on Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
