Borderlands 4 Trailer reveal

Perhaps as a way to get people to read the recently published (and highly forgettable) Borderland Series developer Gearbox opened the Gamescom opening stream with the announcement of Borderlands 4.

Instead of story DLC for Dying Light 2 or the ideas it had for this DLC into a hypothetical Dying Light 3The developers at Techland decided on a different approach: simply make a smaller game.

Dying Light: The Beast promises around 20 hours of fun (less than half as long as a complete Dying Light 2 Playthrough) in a new open world filled with parkour and zombies to kill. There’s a four-player co-op mode, but you can also play it solo. And it’s only $40, so that’s nice. Dying Light: The Beast doesn’t have a release date yet, but will be released on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

Long story short, Indiana Jones will be released on Xbox Series consoles and PC on December 9.
