An “Authentic Brothers in Arms” Game is Currently Being Developed, Says Gearbox CEO

It’s been seven years since fans have seen a true Brothers in Arms game released with the last entry, Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway, ending on a “To Be Continued” note.

Well, thanks to an interview IGN conducted with Gearbox CEA Randy Pitchford, we now know that they are working on a new Brothers in Arms game.


From the interview:

I think the next Brothers in Arms game has to be authentic and we have been working on that, I feel we have unfinished business there with both the fiction and the history and I’d like to get into that. I spend a lot of time thinking about it.

Despite this, it appears we won’t be hearing much about it for a while, according to Pitchford:

Sadly it takes a lot of resources, energy and money to do what must be done, so it’s not something I feel I could completely do alone. I need good partners for it, so we’ve been talking to great folks but it’s really putting all that together that’s the limiting factor. Once we put all the partnerships together in terms of publishing, collaborators and creatives, we can talk about it.
I feel like I’m on the brink of it, but we’re not quite there yet. Once it happens development will really take off and then sometime after that – if we don’t completely kill ourselves – we’ll announce. But we’re in the incubation phase with the next one there, for sure.

The last time we heard of a new Brothers in Arms game was back at E3 2011 with the announcement of Brothers in Arms: Furious 4. The reveal left a lot of fans upset with it, seeing as they’ve been looking forward to completing the story.

Since then nothing has been heard from the game. It appears that the game took the shape of Battleborn, since one of the characters in the Furious 4 trailer, Montana, is in the game.

We’ll keep you guys posted.
