Gearbox are finally planning to reveal Borderlands 3 tomorrow but the Mask of Mayhem teaser may have given away more than it intended.
EA lays off 350 staff, wants to become Worlds Greatest Games Company
After years of silence Gearbox is finally getting ready to unveil Borderlands 3 to the world and by tomorrow evening you should know at least the basics of whats going on with the game.
The annoucement is due to start at 6pm GMT at the PAX East games convention in Boston, although exactly how much will be shown is currently a mystery.
As neat as it is the teaser video below doesnt really reveal anything other than a number of existing Borderlands characters, including Ellie, Sir Hammerlock, and others.
What the teaser also shows though is characters that appear identical to previously leaked concept art. The Beastmaster is particularly easy to spot in the video, while the Bot Jock seems to be the same as the character featured in a Gearbox tech demo from a few years ago.

Accompanying the leaked images were a whole host of other rumours, as summarised on ResetEra, which may or may not be true, including the suggestion that the game is set five to six years after Borderlands 2 and features Fiona from Tales Of The Borderlands as a non-player character.
There are supposedly at least four unique vehicles in the game, with perhaps as many planets, a computer-controlled ally that can revive you, and a reworked gun upgrade system with more customisable parts.
Flak the Beastmaster can apparently summon three different animals to controls, the Bot Jock can summon a bear mech – a bit like Titanfall – that other players can ride, and the Operative is described as a Batman-like assassin character.
Theres also a black female Siren character called Amara, whos melee-orientated like Brick, although its unclear if these four are going to be the only playable characters – and thats Read More – Source
