Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands 3 Director’s Cut add-on will now release on April 8th due to challenges stemming from severe weather in Texas.
In a note to fans, the studio – headquartered in Frisco – expressed relief that its staff members and their families remained safe. However, work on Director’s Cut was understandably disrupted as the state’s infrastructure fell apart.
The note reads:
Due to challenges arising from the severe weather that impacted Texas last month, the Director’s Cut add-on will now launch on April 8. Thankfully, all of our team members and their families are safe and healthy, but our work on Director’s Cut was unavoidably disrupted and we’ve ultimately decided to shift the release date to ensure we deliver the best possible experience. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re excited for you to play Director’s Cut when it releases next month.
