Gearbox's Brothers in Arms: Furious Four is probably cancelled. Despite reports in 2012 that the game was "not cancelled," nothing of the game ever surfaced after its initial E3 2011 trailer. The game's developer has gone on to develop Borderlands titles in that time and is working on the upcoming Battleborn for 2K Games.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said nothing of the title at the recent Develop: Brighton event and instead revealed that a new Brothers in Arms title is in development. He explained that the game was to be an "authentic" Brothers in Arms title, as opposed to the iOS spinoffs they released, and that development was still in the early stages.
"I think the next Brothers in Arms game has to be authentic and we have been working on that," he said in an interview with IGN. "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.
He explained that the company expects to take a lot of resources in developing the title and that it isn't something Gearbox could 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," said Pitchford.
Expect to hear more about the game when and if that happens.
