Gearbox Software has consistently had a major presence at PAX events, and even with physical PAX events canceled this year, the company will still be hosting a special digital showcase as part of PAX Online. On September 12 at 12:45pm PT,Gearboxwill be showcasing its future games, calling out theBorderlandsfranchise specifically.
What exactly Gearbox will announce or show off at PAX remains to be seen. September 12 is two days after the release of thelastBorderlands 3DLC, and so it’s possible that it will use PAX Online to announce futureBL3DLC plans. Maybe the game has a second season pass waiting in the wings, or maybe Gearbox has other plans for it. It also wouldn’t be all that surprising if Gearbox announced PS5 and Xbox Series X ports ofBorderlands 3, especially since the next-generation consoles are set to launch in just a couple of months' time.

But whileBorderlandswill be featured during PAX Online, Gearbox also said that it will be showing what’s next from its publishing branch. As it so happens, Gearbox is publishing the upcoming PlayStation 5 console exclusive gameGodfall, which has been described as a looter-slasher and has generated a decent amount of hype. It’s quite possible thatGodfallwill be featured during the PAX Online event, and if so, hopefully fans get to see more gameplay than thebriefGodfallgameplay teaserthat was shown at Gamescom.
BesidesGodfall, Gearbox is also publishingTribes of Midgardin 2021, andHomeworld 3in Q4 of 2022. It’s possible that one or both of those games will also be shown at PAX Online, withTribes of Midgardbeing the more likely scenario. Similarly toGodfall,Tribes of Midgardis looking to launch on PlayStation 5, so that may generate a bit more interest in the title.
Of course, it’s also possible that Gearbox will have some surprise announcements up its sleeve in regards to some of the other franchises it owns. Fans have been waiting years to learn of anewBrothers in Armsgame, plus Gearbox also owns the rights to theDuke Nukemfranchise. Gearbox hasn’t done much withDuke Nukemsince releasing the long-in-developmentDuke Nukem Forever, and so both franchises are overdue for new games.
Really Gearbox Software could announce just about anything at thePAX Onlinedigital showcase event.Borderlandsfans and those who enjoy Gearbox Software’s published titles should definitely be sure to tune in on September 12 at 12:45pm PT.
