Gearbox's founder has seemingly teased an unannounced Borderlands game, and some fans think a reveal is right around the corner.

IGN has interviewed Randy Pitchford about the forthcoming Borderlands movie, which just saw a new trailer showing off its cast, including Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kevin Hart. When asked about his favorite Borderlands game, Pitchford had a pretty teasing answer.

"Look, we haven't even announced anything of it," Pitchford tells the outlet. "Clearly, we're working on something. And I know what we're working on, and holy shit... It's the greatest thing we've ever done. And I can't wait, but it's not time yet. It's not time yet. There will be a time."

This isn't the first time a potential new Borderlands game has been talked about - last year, Borderlands 4 was name-dropped by the head of a studio that collaborates with Gearbox.

It's admittedly pretty compelling stuff, and the tweets probably wouldn't be under such a great spotlight if it weren't for Pitchford's teasing comments. There's just under a month to go until we find out whether Gearbox really is working on Borderlands 4.
