You can check out each version below, alongside Borderlands 3’s beautiful and biblical cover art (unfortunately they couldn’t figure out how to get the Psycho to shoot himself three times, so they made him literal Jesus Christ!)
The four main Vault Hunters classes have also been revealed: Moze, FL4K, Amara and Zane. The official descriptions of each of the four vault hunters are as follows;
Moze as THE GUNNER: When Moze needs backup, she digistructs her mech - Iron Bear - for a sucker punch of additional firepower.
Amara as THE SIREN: A confident, capable brawler with the ability to summon ethereal fists, Amara used her Siren powers to smash her enemies.
FL4K as THE BEASTMASTER: FL4K lives for the hunt. So do the loyal beasts that follow their master's every command. Their preferred prey? Unsuspecting bandits, those poor suckers.
Zane as THE OPERATIVE: Specializing in battlefield gadgetry, Zane is extremely proficient at slipping into combat, creating chaos, and sneaking back out as if he were never there.
Gearbox will be hosting an hosting a Worldwide Gameplay Reveal Event livestream on May 1st that will allow fans around the world to see Borderlands 3 in action for the first time.
