The Borderlands Twitter account has given us a snapshot of Promethea, one of the multitudes of interplanetary destinations offered to players in the upcoming Borderlands 3.
The third game possesses a totally new feature in the series, in that home base Sanctuary is now a spaceship and so the story will take us beyond Pandora for the first time. The trailer posted yesterday is a quick run-down of Promethea, home to the Atlas corporation. All was well before its rival Maliwan attacked the city-planet; the slick futuristic architecture is the backdrop to a viciously sophisticated war between two highly-advanced weapons manufacturers.
Visit Promethea. Home to the Atlas corporation, this metropolitan city-planet has been brought under siege by Maliwan, turning its futuristic urban environment into a brutal warzone. #LetsMakeSomeMayhem

Rhys, a fan-favourite introduced in Tales from the Borderlands, is allied with assassin Zer0 here on Promethea as Atlas CEO and war general. But most shocking to me is the reveal of Rhys’ surname: Strongfork. Yeah, I get it, Gearbox. It’s a pun on Reese Witherspoon. Still terrible.
You can see more of Promethea here in our preview of Borderlands 3, where we got to play a mission set on the planet.
