Borderlands 3's Newest Trailer Is All About Togetherness

07/16/2019

A few days ago, Gearbox and 2K started teasing a “Celebration of Togetherness” event today. While a lot of people assumed this meant an announcement of crossplay, it is not exactly that. In fact, the Celebration of Togetherness isn’t an announcement at all. It’s a new trailer from Gearbox set to the 1967 song Happy Together by the Turtles. The […]

07/05/2019

Mental health is a difficult subject to tackle in games. Achieving a tactful balance between game mechanics and tough themes requires insight, but it can make for a rewarding experience when the two intertwine in meaningful ways.
