Gearbox Software Hiring Writer For AAA FPS RPG Hybrid
The developers of Borderlands are looking for a new writer to work on a game that may be Borderlands 3.
The team recently made a post to their official site offering the job to anyone interested in working on an unannounced project with strong characters and Central narrative thread. Necessary qualifications also include a "strong passion and demonstrable ability for comedic or satiric writing" as well as "demonstrable skill in writing entertaining and engaging dialogue with meaningful character interactions." For the full post, click here.
Recently known for the hero shooter Battleborn and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, Gearbox hasn't released anything tied to the Borderlands franchise since the Handsome Collection back in 2015, and the last core entry was Borderlands 2 in 2012. Battleborn has also ended its updates, leaving the company with plenty of time on their hands for a big project.

Our Take
Chances are pretty good this could be the official third entry in the series, especially considering the images released of the team's test builds with Unreal Engine 4 using the Borderlands graphic style back in March, but we'll have to wait for more information from the developer to be sure.
