Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford took to the stage at this year’s Tokyo Game Show to reveal a new Vault Hunter for Borderlands 4, who will be coming out as paid DLC in early 2026. Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel both added additional Vault Hunters as DLC, but Borderlands 3 didn’t add any, so announcing a…
Let’s recap for a second. So far, we’ve introduced you to 18 of the 25 playable heroes in Battleborn at launch: axe-wielding dwarves, mountain men with miniguns, sentient mushrooms, laser sword space vampires… oh, yeah, and a penguin-piloting a mech suit — all fighting to save the last star in the universe.

GenAI seems to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue at the moment, and a recent flashpoint involves Embark’s ARC Raiders, which uses an AI-based text-to-speech system to generate spoken dialogue trained on the voices of human actors.

“We were gonna push the 3D a bit more.”. When we were interviewing former Bullfrog developers for our ‘Making Of’ feature on the RTS Powermonger, there were a few topics we knew we had to explore, with the major one being the game’s cancelled expansions.

The chronicle continues. The ‘Company Profile’ section of the Monolith Soft website has been updated and it looks like Nintendo now finally owns 100% of the company (thanks, Automaton West). The Big N first staked its claim in Monolith back in 2007, purchasing 80% of its shares from Namco before increasing its proportion to 96%…
