Rating change for Borderlands 3: director cut was apparently a “mistake”

Yesterday, a Nintendo Switch score for Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut was seen on the PEGI scoreboard.

What’s a little weird about this is that “Director’s Cut” is actually a complement to the season 2 DLC (which just released this week on other platforms) and the base game has not even been confirmed for the hybrid system.

So what happens? While many believe it could be a sign of a more official announcement in the future, GameSpot writer and verified Twitter user Gabe Gurwin has allegedly been in contact with a 2K rep. Apparently, Borderlands 3 “doesn’t get to change” and it’s a “bug” at the end of PEGI that 2K has now removed.

We have looked at ourselves and certainly the list of Nintendo Switch has already passed the official PEGI classification:

Although Nintendo’s rating for this DLC has been removed, there is still (possibly) growing evidence that Borderlands 3 could reach the Switch. Aside from all the other entries in the series that were already available on this hardware, there was a pretty interesting discovery made by YouTuber Doctre81 last September.

Development and port studio specialist Fractured Byte published a list of jobs looking for game developers (familiar with Switch) to work on an Unreal Engine project. The genre was a “shooter” and one of the tasks was to help send games, like the first two Borderlands games, to the Switch.

It turns out that Fractured Byte also collaborated with Turn Me Up Games to help bring it about Borderlands: the legendary collection to change. Mmm, interesting!

Do you think Borderlands 3 will end up making its way to the Switch? Leave a comment below.
