Borderlands 3 is turning a whopping one year old in just under two months, and Gearbox Software wants you to celebrate in style with the upcoming Borderlands 3 Anniversary Celebration.
The devs revealed info about what we can expect from the celebration in a blog post yesterday:
Whether you’ve been with Borderlands 3 from the beginning or you’ve just started your journey across the stars aboard Sanctuary III, we want to sincerely thank you, the Borderlands community, for all the support, feedback, streams, videos, fan art, cosplay, and so much more.
The celebrations will comprise of six new mini events, with one launching every week from July 30 through to September 10, 2020, just about coinciding with the exact one-year anniversary of the game on September 13. The events will be activated via a hotfix, taking place every Thursday.
So what will the events be? Here’s all we know so far, including the respective dates and times:
