Borderlands developer Gearbox Software has embarked on a major recruitment drive as it begins work on a new entry in the franchise.

Pitchford’s claim that this next Borderlands is "the big one" is intriguing. The second entry already made dramatic improvements over the original, with last year’s Pre-Sequel also being well-received.

The next Borderlands will presumably be the first entry on Xbox One and PS4 – not counting the upcoming remastered editions of the last two games. Plus, Gearbox now faces competition from the similarly structured Destiny.
