Oof.

Here's hoping the EGS is in a better shape by the time this releases.

I'm glad they're taking away options on where to purchase it. #ForThePublishers

Did anyone think it wouldn't be coming to epic games store?
Though this likely means exclusivity, we don't know for certain yet whether this means it's not coming to steam.

Before anyone panics that this might be exclusive (which it's very well likely to be, let's be fair), there's no consoles listed in that image so the lack of a Steam logo might not mean much yet.

Doesn't the main website list Steam?

I mean I wouldn't doubt if it's exclusive but I wouldn't bank on this meaning anything beyond 'hey it's on the Epic store and Epic has priority marketing"

Do the "April Fool's?" posters really think that Borderlands is into subtle humor?

wow that one is gonna shake the PC industry quite a lot

EDIT: could just be an EGS specific ad though, now that I think of it. It'd be weird to not mention consoles as well.
If it is an EGS store exclusive, I bet you it will sell noticebly less than it would have being on multiple stores.

Borderlands is one of my favorite series but I'd easily skip 3 for a while if it's true.

The fact that there's no Steam logo in the ads, and they deliberately deferred from announcing platforms from their PAX show (indicating that there was something in the platform selection which wouldn't have gone down well with the live crowd) does very heavily indicate EGS exclusivity. Add in Randy's frequently re-posted tweets, and Obsidian opening their PAX panel stating that it was 2k that signed up The Outer Wilds as an EGS exclusive, and I would be willing to bet a very large quantity of money that Borderlands 2 is also an EGS exclusive.

Still, the Borderlands community would probably largely prefer to download a launcher rather than miss the sequel they've been waiting for since years. It'd be a big game changer.

Seems like it's supposed to be a video released after April 3rd (the day they promised "more information") but they accidentally had it up early. So no april fools here.

Can't really get angry with this since it was never confirmed for steam or other storefronts so... welp? Doesn't mean I'm gonna buy it from Epic though with the other shit they pulled.

I think a lot of people are willing to wait a year, especially for a title that may have a season pass. You're clearly underestimating people's patience here.

Wait, is the April Fool's Day joke is that people are mad about a game launcher?

I mean, that has to be a joke. The game will still be the same no matter what launches it, right?

Explains why they didn't announce the platforms on the panel I guess.
Question is though once this timed exclusives phase is over, will people buy their other games on EGS or elsewhere?

Big get for EGS if it is exclusive.

And lol at people thinking Borderlands fans would wait an additional year rather than just download the Epic launcher. Totally delusional.
