Gearbox trademarks “Borderworlds”

borderlands3

Update: Apparently the trademark was filed Aug 1, 2007 which was the same day Gearbox filed a trademark for Borderlands. Maybe it was a toss up between two names then, we reckon.

Original: As spotted by Superannuation, Gearbox has trademarked “Borderworlds” in the US.

Borderlands is pick of 2K’s bunch at the moment, having apparently singlehandedly saved the company from a sticky financial wicket this quarter. The firm said in its earnings call last night that the SRPG is to become a “key” fixture in its future line-up.

There’s nothing else. That’s all there is.

    I *hope* it’s an MMO. Who in their right mind would say no to a Diablo-like MMOFPS?

    “Diablo-like”? Thats not really want comes to mind when i played BorderLands.

    It was “Diablo-like” for me especially with the amount of loot that drops. Killing endless mobs and then looking at the ground to see what dropped if thats not Diablo I dunno what is.

    You obviously never played the game. Look at Mad World too. It had “cartoon shit” and it was a dark and moody game plus plenty of gore.

    sounds okay to me. Borderlands was boring as hell singleplayer. Multiplayer it is genuinely enjoyable.

    More multiplayer in my borderlands sounds awesome.

    Anyone remember Hellgate:London?

  12. Hunam said:

    I do. Never bought the game because it was horridly broken, but liked the look of it. Shame it never panned out.

  13. Jadeskye said:

    i bought it day one. God what a mistake.
