UPDATE: It's confirmed as 2K spoke to IGN

Original article below
Thanks to the public financial reports of Take-Two Interactive it looks like the newest game in the Borderland series could see a Linux release and is listed as a platform for the game.
At this link here you will see this information:
It's even listed in the downloadable PDF of the financial report, so that's pretty official.
We have reached out to Take-Two Interactive for confirmation on this. Hopefully it wasn't a mistake, but it's hard to see someone manually typing in "Linux" by accident.
About
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! is an upcoming first-person shooter video game being developed by 2K Australia with assistance from Gearbox Software and to be published by 2K Games. It is the third game in the Borderlands series, and a prequel to the 2012 game Borderlands 2.
This is extremely exciting as it's a massively popular game series, and if it turns out to be true it could mean the others may see a release too.
It's interesting as Randy Pitchford of Gearbox previously said to us not to get our hopes up, but that was about Borderlands 2. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
QuoteWe've reached out to 2K, and they have confirmed that it will indeed be headed to Linux this fall.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Quoting: SirBubblesThe people here commenting are aware that this Pre-Sequel is, while using the Borderlands name, closer to The Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us in terms of gameplay, right? It's made by telltale if I recall correctly. And that should make it a good deal more worth watching for me than the other games using the name. I'd like to know if either Walking Dead or Wolf Among Us might be coming to linux as well.
Did you even watch the trailer? This is very much the Borderlands we love and adore, being developed by 2K Australia.

I was thinking of Tales From The Borderlands. Didn't remember the Pre-Sequel thing. Do try to forgive me.

Well I do like the trailer, but considering it's just more shooty Borderlands, and there are already two games in the series, just what is the point?

Quoting: scaineMan, that's a shame. NV had a great story and quests. It was a massive step up from Fallout 3.
BL2 is a similar huge jump from BL1 if not bigger - not sure what your objection is to the inventory system... it's been over a year since I played it but don't remember any inventory-related annoyances.
If this happens, I'd love to see a Metro-style redux for BL1/2. I'd buy both games again, happily.
i guess sequels just dont work for me, especially if they use the same engine. when i play and finish a game i get the satisfying feeling that its completed and i can move on. its like watching a a good movie that for some $ reason needs a successor no matter what - i cant tell any example where i thought "good thing they made a 2nd one right afterwards" unless it was meant to be like that right off the start like in starwars or lotr.
i have not enjoyed fallout2 after fallout1, not kotor2 after kotor1, not dragonage2 after 1 and so on.. the list is endless. i just feel like i would touch something again without any need that i didnt leave uncompleted. that might not be the case for others, im pretty sure of that - but for me it is. it totally works tho when the game is done new from the scratch like the elder scrolls series does it.

No, I agree - there's a lot of poor sequels out there and you just quoted a few of them. But some are superb sequels, even when they use the same game mechanics or even much the same engine.
e.g. NV, BL2, sure, but also Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Portal 2, Sanctum 2, The Witcher 2, Crysis 2, HalfLife 2, Metro 2033, DOTA2, Just Cause 2. So, yeah. And those are just from my Steam games list. There are probably other, older games like Descent 2 and Dungeon Keeper 2 that I have lying around somewhere in box form.
Of course some of those aren't just churning out more of the same, but many are. I don't have a problem with that as long as the content is good.

Ah well, I guess that can be said about the entire Call Of Duty franchise as well. :)
The point, for someone who's finished the first two, can be summed up in two words: More content.
New locations, new mobs, new characters... You know. More of the same, isn't that exactly what fans want?

There's nothing to forgive. :)
