“It’s getting gnarly out there, you guys”.

Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford found himself in hot water recently after making a fairly tone deaf comment regarding the potential price of Borderlands 4.

In response to concerns that the game may well be priced at $80, Pitchford simply stated that “if you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way”.

Here we go, then — after last week’s teaser, we now know that Shuten Order, the next game from Danganronpa creator and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy‘s co-director Kazutaka Kodaka is launching on 5th September 2025. The Steam page went live earlier today (thanks Wario64) with a trailer and some screenshots.

Nobody was hurt in their confusion.

Pokémon scalpers going to insane lengths just to secure a new card collection isn’t anything new, but this story might just be the craziest we’ve heard for a while (thanks for the heads up, Polygon).

Reddit user Expensive_Age_3406 took to the r/GameStop group last weekend to share their experience of trying to nab the latest Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection — a new bundle spun out from the immensely popular Eevee-focused set.
