Exclusive new Borderlands 3 trailer shows the team Happy Together

published 17 July 2019

It may not arrive until September, but the excitement for Borderlands 3 is ramping up - especially after that E3 trailer. And, as this new trailer shows, the game is going to be a whole lot of fun.

Now, don't go watching the following expecting an explainer of where we are with the Borderlands franchise.

This trailer is very much in the spirit of the Borderlands 2's The Lion Sleeps Tonight promo, with tongue firmly in cheek.

Here we have an explosion of colours and, well, explosions, all put to a backdrop of dancing and mayhem. Think Guardians of the Galaxy meets those brilliant dance scenes in the Marvel show Legion.

The tune of choice for this one is The Turtle's Happy Together, which is a little ironic given everyone is beating the proverbial out of each other.

Borderlands 3 is out 13 September on PS4, Xbox and PC. Pre-order now.

Which is the best games console right now? We've got the answer.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
