The rumors regarding an upcoming Borderlands title are growing each day. Amazon Italy’s reveal of the Borderlands 3 release date is the most recent fuel for all this talk. However, Gearbox needs to consider some issues when developing the game if they want it to be a satisfactory sequel. Here are the three main ones.
1) Focus On The Storyline
Because of the first Borderlands title lack of a story, most fans were not satisfied by it. Nevertheless, Borderlands 2 focused more on the story, which engaged players more with the characters and the Borderlands universe. The third addition to the franchise should do the same thing and in an even better way than before. Especially now that the foundation of the main story has been established in the previous titles, it should be easier to pick up from where we left off.
2) Engage With The Community
Fans’ feedback is crucial when it comes to video games. Listening to their suggestions, complaints and even positive comments, you can make the game better. Borderlands has a vast community that is very interested in the game. Reflecting back on all the weird bugs in the first two titles, listening to fans would have resulted in fixing the issue sooner. Consequently, Gearbox needs to invest in its audience. They need to establish and preserve their relationship with the fans. Taking their feedback into consideration can make Borderlands 3 the best title of the franchise.
3) Do Not Ruin The Good Stuff
Despite the numerous problems with the previous titles, there was still some great stuff in them. There is some uniqueness in this franchise which has made it brilliant and magnificent. Besides, this uniqueness has been fundamental in attracting players to buy and play the games. So it is important not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The aim is to make a better Borderlands title, not to destroy the things that made the previous titles impressive.
