Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 "will surprise people"

Gearbox has confirmed Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 is still in development.

The title was first announced at E3 2011 but news had since dried up, leading to speculation that the game had been scrapped.

Co-founder of Gearbox Randy Pitchford has said that the game is indeed being worked on and that it will surprise people when it launches.

He told CVG: “I’m looking forward to being able to talk about Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 soon.

“The game has evolved, I think people are going to be surprised by what they’ll see, and it’s still evolving. One of the reasons why we’re not talking about it now is that it’s evolving and we need to make further changes before we can start talking about it.”

Pitchford also went on to say that Furious 4 will not be released in 2012 like was originally planned and revealed when he’ll be able to announce more about the game.

He added: “I can’t really talk about Furious 4 right now. Borderlands 2 ships in September, so we’re spending most of our time talking about that, and Aliens: Colonial Marines comes out after that in February.

“I might come around to talk about Furious 4 between the releases of Borderlands 2 and Aliens: Colonial Marines, but I certainly won’t before the release of Borderlands 2.”
