During the most recent
Podcast 'The AIAS Game Maker's Notebook',
Randy Pitchford, CEO of
Gearbox (developer of
Borderlands), confirmed that
they are currently working on a new Brothers in Arms game.
During the podcast, Pitchford talks about how
Borderlands 3 was announced very late in its development cycle. At minute 53:05, Pitchford mentions that Brothers in Arms is in early development:
" we are working on another Brothers in Arms, but I'm not going to say anything until we have it."

On the Allves Games website
Gearbox, there is also a list of open positions including a senior game designer to work on core combat mechanics as well as movement feel. The curious thing is how right at the beginning of the
page they mention that
"Gearbox Entertainment became widely known for successful game franchises, including Brothers in Arms and Borderlands, as well as acquired properties Duke Nukem (Thanks Randy) and Homeworld."
The series
Brothers in Arms hasn't been in the spotlight for almost a decade, with its last game released for mobile in 2014. Although it's just a detail, mentioning it alongside
Borderlands, the biggest IP of
Gearbox, also leads to some speculation.
Brothers in Arms is a tactical shooter video game series by
Gearbox Software, consisting of ten individual games.
The main series consists of the first-person shooters
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 (2005),
Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood (2005) and
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (2008).
The plot is set against the backdrop of the liberation of Western Europe during World War II. It was released primarily for Windows and MacOS platforms, as well as sixth and seventh generation consoles and some mobile devices.
