Borderlands 3 goes gold

Gearbox Software, the game developer for the Borderlands series, has announced that the upcoming title Borderlands 3 has 'gone gold'. This means it is out of development and ready for mass production.

Game developer Gearbox Software announced today that the upcoming third installment in the popular shooting game series Borderlands has gone gold. For those unfamiliar with gaming dev terms, going gold means that the game is done with the development process and a final copy of the game has been produced.

Announced officially at EastPAX 2019, Borderlands 3, the heavily-anticipated sequel to the action RPG shooter game series, is due to be released next month.
