The rumors can now be put to rest, folks. Gearbox Software and 2K Games are about to make Nintendo Switch players very happy. Four years after its initial release, Borderlands 3 is making its grand debut on the Nintendo Switch, launching on October 6th.
The game can be purchased for $59.99 for the core game and the extras
What makes this news significant? For starters, the Borderlands saga isn’t confined to one console anymore. Known for its high-energy shoot ’em up action and quirky storytelling, the franchise has primarily been a treat for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers. But now, the Switch community is also getting a seat at the table, or more aptly, a controller in the game.
Let’s talk value. The Ultimate Edition of the game doesn’t skimp out on content. For $59.99, you get the core game and a boatload of extras: six jam-packed DLCs and over 30 additional cosmetics. And if you’re worried about playing solo, don’t. The game will support both online and local co-op play, so you and your pals can loot to your heart’s content. But there’s a catch: we’re still in the dark about how the game will perform on the Switch.
Pre-orders are already open, and if you’re a fan of physical editions, places like GameStop are your go-to. Notably absent, however, is the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box, which bundles together a host of Borderlands titles but won’t be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
So, is Borderlands 3 a game-changer for the Nintendo Switch? Only time will tell. What’s certain is that the game already has a strong following, and this new platform could give it an even longer lifespan. The big questions now are performance and support. Can the Nintendo Switch handle the chaos that is Borderlands 3, and will Gearbox and 2K provide the after-launch care the game deserves?
Eager fans can only wait and speculate, but one thing’s for sure: the Vault just got a little bigger, and this October, Nintendo Switch users can finally see what all the fuss is about.
