Gearbox Software is an American video game development company.

It was established as a limited liability company in February 1999 by five developers formerly of Rebel Boat Rocker. Randy Pitchford, one of the founders, serves as president and chief executive officer.

Gearbox initially created expansions for the Valve game Half-Life, then ported that game and others to console platforms. In 2005, Gearbox launched its first independent set of games, Brothers in Arms, on console and mobile devices. It became their flagship franchise and spun off a comic book series, television documentary, books, and action figures.

Their second original game series, Borderlands, commenced in 2009, and by 2015 had sold over 26 million copies. The company also owns the intellectual property of Duke Nukem and Homeworld.

What happened to Gearbox Software?

Gearbox expanded into publishing with the creation of Gearbox Publishing in 2015. A parent company, The Gearbox Entertainment Company, was established for Gearbox Software and Gearbox Publishing in 2019.

What happened to Gearbox Software?

Gearbox Entertainment was acquired by the Embracer Group in April 2021, becoming its seventh major label. A third division, Gearbox Studios, to focus on television and film productions, was established in October 2021.

Are they making Borderlands 4?

There was about 4-5 years between each main Borderlands game, so we hypothesize Borderlands 4 will launch in 2023-2024. However, since Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a spinoff of Borderlands, it’ll contain a lot of the same signature humor and gameplay, albeit in a western fantasy setting.

Do I need to play Borderlands 1 before 2?

Do you need to play Borderlands before Borderlands 2? No. Borderlands 2 features characters from the original as non-playable characters, but the story itself does not rely on that of the original since there is a new bad guy, new plot, etc.

Is Borderland a good game?

On an out-of-ten scale, ten best, Borderlands 2 is a nine, almost an eight. It is a very good game, don’t get me wrong. Incredibly well done and interesting characters. Even Clap-Trap has his moments.
