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.
Gearbox is hiring a writer for what is probably Borderlands 3
Borderlands and more recently Battleborn developer Gearbox Software is looking for a new writer. Specifically, a writer for an unannounced AAA game that sure sounds like it could be Borderlands 3.
"Gearbox is looking for someone to join the writing team for an unannounced AAA FPS/RPG hybrid with strong characters and central narrative thread.
The successful candidate will join the writing team to write, punch up and iterate scripts in-line with established story and plot outlines. Responsibilities will include writing dialogue for voice-over and in-game text for missions, flavor and user interfaces. A love for comedy writing with respect for a serious underlying plot is helpful."
