Gearbox Teases Borderlands 2 Animated Short Film
Gearbox has an animated short film in the works, and today it offered a teaser image from the project.
The film will be available next week, according to Gearbox's tweet. Earlier this year, Gearbox announced a partnership with The Academy of Art to produce an animated Borderlands short film. It's unclear if this upcoming short is a product of that partnership.
Gearbox produced another animated short to accompany the Krieg the Psycho DLC, which you can see below.

Our Take
Animated short films are a great way to tell a small isolated story, and Borderlands' art style and universe seem well suited to the medium. I'm curious to see the finished product.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
