 "Borderlands 3 release date accidentally leaked through its official Twitter account")
The official Borderlands Twitter account might have accidentally sent out the release date of Borderlands 3. What looks like a tweet that was supposed to be sent out on 3 April as an ad, was erroneously posted on 1 April. The tweet mentioning a release date of 13 September has since been deleted but many users were able to capture a screenshot.

Check out the Epic Store logo on the bottom left in the video.

It isn’t clear whether it’s going to be an exclusive but considering that there’s no Steam logo and only the Epic Store logo, it’s up for speculation. Addressing the concern over the release date and launch platform, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford took to Twitter and said, “2K/Take Two has exclusive publishing rights for Borderlands 3 and makes all decisions regarding price-points, territories, distribution and platform partnerships.” He added that for him, exclusives are fine as long as they come with advantages and when they are short.
As a customer, I’m happy to shop in different stores - already do! I’ve bought games from Xbox, Playstation, Switch, Steam, Origin, GOG, Humble, Uplay, Epic and other stores. To me, exclusives are fine when they come w/ advantages and when they are short – say, six months :) 2/3
