The cowl artwork we ended up with in Borderlands Three was, unsurprisingly, not the developer’s solely design.
At Comic-Con over the weekend, Borderlands Three developer Gearbox hosted a pop-up show of assorted in-game props known as Museum of Mayhem. The exhibit featured, amongst different issues, all rejected designs for the game’s cowl artwork.
13 of those have been on show, and so they run the gamut from predictable to fully on the market – even by Borderlands requirements. This artwork assortment additionally helps reply the query many people had about precisely how Gearbox would attempt to convey the quantity three on the duvet.
The first two Borderlands games featured a Psycho holding up one (and later two fingers) within the type of a gun. You can clearly see Gearbox tried to recreate that in amusing new methods for Borderlands 3, corresponding to having a foot on the duvet, or have the Psycho maintain up a three-finger gun.
But these are solely the least fascinating, the extra out-there stuff options some really unusual imagery just like the one displaying breastfeeding, or one the place the Psycho is swinging on a wrecking ball by means of area.
Once you filter away all that, you’re left with some actually good covers that might all have labored fairly properly. Instead, we bought that relatively tame design (by comparability).
See all of them within the shot under by way of Reddit person Frocharocha.
