Over the weekend, it has been confirmed that the creator of the beloved Borderland Franchise has parted ways with developer gearbox in pursuit of other adventures. The confirmation comes via Matthew's Twitter over the weekend. Snippet below... He had spoken also with PC Gamer about his departure and claims his leaving gearbox was not done out of spite, internal issues, franchise direction or any other matter internally, that it was simply just time for him to move on and find the next big thing. His leaving is at a non-critical point in the franchise as it is reported that Gearbox only recently started hiring on developers to start work on Borderlands in January, meaning that the creative development process has not even begun yet. Below is an example job posting over at Gearbox for a Tools developer. Tools developing is obviously required before any assets can be planned or created. hence the development process hasn't begun yet. So what does this mean for the future of Gearbox and Borderlands? No doubt many fans of the franchise will be saddened and dismayed by Matt's exit to the beloved game series. More importantly, this may also lead to a vast array of mixed feelings as to the outcome of the future titles for Borderlands. Can they succeed without Matthew's direct writing and creative input? Can we look to the demise of 2k Australia as a sign of things to come for Borderlands out of Matthew's hands? Only time will tell if Gearbox can continue to pump out quality story and gameplay without it's Flagship titles creator. And what does this mean for any E3 plans gearbox may have had for 2015? I am sure more news and interviews about this development are sure to follow in the coming days. As more news about his departure comes in, I will do my best to pass it on. So 343i Community, what are your thoughts about this news and what do you see for the future of Borderlands?
