Following its announcement last week during PAX East, Gearbox Software has shared a new trailer for Borderlands 3. The video gives us our first look at the game's four playable characters and confirms the title will launch for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 13. However, players hoping to pick it up on the latter will have to do so through the Epic Games Store, as the trailer reveals the PC version will initially be exclusive to Epic's storefront until April 2020, when it will expand to additional digital stores.
Borderlands 3 is the latest in a growing number of games that are shifting their focus from Valve's Steam platform to Epic's nascent digital delivery service. In a statement, publisher 2K said this decision was in line with the company's efforts to embrace new delivery platforms.
