An exciting reveal has been promised by SGF for 2K Games; one of the several studios lined up at the Summer Game Fest on June 7. The SGF account on X, formerly Twitter put out a message stating “2K plans to reveal the next iteration in one of 2K’s biggest and most beloved franchises at Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 7”
2K Games have several franchises to their credit including the NBA and WWE series. However, if it is a ‘beloved and biggest franchise’ that we are talking about, the contenders are more likely to be Borderlands, Bioshock or Mafia. The last game in the Borderlands franchise was Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands that came out in Mar 2022; while the last numbered Borderlands game was Borderlands 3, back in Sep 2019. As far as Bioshock goes, Bioshock Infinite came out a good 11 years ago in Mar 2013; and a remastered collection of all 3 games in the series came out in Sep 2016. As far as Mafia is concerned, the last game was the less enthusiastically received Mafia III back in Oct 2016. So all the 3 franchises are up for a potential new game in the respective series and will be interesting to see which one it turns out to be.
If you ask us, and going by what was put out couple of months before in March during Take-Two Interactive Software’s acquisition of Gearbox Entertainment : that Borderlands 4 is in active development; that is what we are putting our bets on.
