Please don't base Borderlands 3 off Battleborn

I won’t bash Battleborn because I know some people like this style of gameplay and character progression, but as a long time Borderlands fan I see the similarities in this new game and my biggest fear is that BL3 will follow in the art style and gameplay. Please tell us this is not happening.

Remember the teaser video before the first Borderlands came out, that actually feels better to me for a new game instead of a more cartoonish cel shaded style, just in case you guys were going that direction…


Hope that’s not too critical, don’t want to come across as rude, just a bit concerned is all.

I’m pretty sure they’ll stick to the art style they’ve used in all previous Borderlands games. It’d be pretty jarring if they decided to change it for just the 3rd.

I highly doubt the art style for Borderlands 3 would change.
It has a legacy now, and cosplayers for one love it, the cell shading, the outfits…
its distinctly Borderlands.
Yes they had a vision with the old launch trailer… Roland was white, Lilith looked like Steele, and Brick didn’t appear to exist…
But it evolved into something amazing… And I for one, love it… Gotta keep it that way!

In an age full of grit and darkness, Borderlands’ and Battleborns cartoony art-style is refreshing.

Borderlands isn’t Battleborn and Battleborn isn’t Borderlands. I’m not worried about Borderlands 3. GBX wanted to try something new, so they made Battleborn. After they get it out of their system, they can go back to making Borderlands. :slight_smile:
