Take-Two has refused to be drawn on whether it would be interested in acquiring Gearbox Entertainment, following reports that the Borderlands studio is potentially up for sale.
Reuters and Bloomberg both claimed this month that Embracer Group was considering selling Gearbox, which It acquired in 2021 in a deal worth up to $1.4 billion, as part of major restructuring plans.
The former was told that Embracer had received interest from third parties keen on buying the studio. Potential buyers, who reportedly mainly consist of “international gaming groups”, already have access to Gearbox marketing materials, it’s claimed.
Take-Two, which retains a long-term publishing deal with Gearbox for the Borderlands franchise and other titles, was asked about its potential interest in acquiring the studio during its AGM on Thursday.
“We’ve had a long-term relationship with Gearbox of which we’re very proud,” CEO Strauss Zelnick said when asked if the company might be a Gearbox suitor. “They’re a wonderful company, they’ve delivered for us—not just Borderlands, but also Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and other titles—and I’ve no doubt they’ll continue to be successful in the future.
“We’re thrilled that we have a long-term publishing relationship on these titles,” he added. “That publishing relationship exists without regard to the ultimate owner of Gearbox. But with regard to our potential interest, we don’t tend to speculate on potential transactions.”
Take-Two said last month that the Borderlands franchise has sold-in over 81 million units since launching in 2009.
The most recent mainline series entry, 2019’s Borderlands 3, is publishing label 2K’s fastest-selling title and has sold over 18 million copies.
2012’s Borderlands 2 is 2K’s top-selling game since the label’s inception seven years earlier, with over 27 million copies sold.

There is a bogeyman lurking behind corporate America's push to bring workers back to the office: the remote employee who is secretly working a second full-time job, not by working 80-hour weeks, but by toggling between Job 1 and Job 2.
We know Nintendo is working on their successor console to the Switch. However, we haven’t seen anything official regarding when we’ll get our first look at this new piece of hardware. It’s not unlike Nintendo to keep their projects hidden away and then surprise fans with little notice of a reveal event. Nintendo Direct announcements are notorious for being just a day or two away from the actual event. So, it can be at any point now when Nintendo will unveil the console. Of course, since we’re moving into the holiday season, the company might be holding off to get the last bit of sales possible for the Nintendo Switch console and its line of games.

With Apple and Samsung already launching their flagship devices earlier this year, all the eyes were on Google, and it has now unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8 series at the Made by Google 2023 event. The Pixel 8 is the lower-end version in the new flagship Pixel lineup which also includes the Pixel 8 Pro, and goes head to head against the base flagship smartphones in the market, such as Apple's iPhone 15 and Samsung's Galaxy S23. It falls under a similar price bracket as the new iPhone 15, therefore, comparisons will surely be made.
The Star Wars KOTOR Remake isn't in a good place. So far, we've only seen a short teaser trailer that doesn't really tell us anything about the game. Then, the project was taken away from its previous developer, Aspyr, reportedly over concerns about the game's slow development. Now, as yet another year passes with no KOTOR Remake updates - aside from the announcement trailer being taken down by Sony - many fear that the game has been shelved entirely.
