As part of its live, onstage presentation at PAX East, Gearbox confirmed that its long-rumoured Borderlands 1 remaster is real and will be launching on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC next Wednesday, April 3rd.
Gearbox is calling the remaster the “definitive version” of its much-loved 2009 loot-and-shooter. It includes the base game and all DLC, and introduces new weapons, “substantial” visual upgrades (with better lighting, textures, and character models, as well as 4K and HDR on supported consoles), plus various gameplay enhancements and quality of life improvements.
You can, for instance, expect a new mini-map, character heads and skins, gold chests and keys, plus support for 4-player split-screen play, up from the original’s two.
