Earlier this year, 2K along with Gearbox Software as well as the Academy of Art University in San Francisco announced Borderlands Cooperative, which is a partnership that has provided students of the university with a chance to create an original animated short film set in the popular Borderlands universe.
Recently, 2K, Gearbox, and the AAU revealed that they have expanded the Borderlands Cooperative project from one short film into a series of three short films.

The student series titled, ‘Borderlands – Tales From The HQ’ and will be available on YouTube in December.
“Academy of Art’s mission is to prepare students for the jobs of the 21st century and this project with industry leaders at 2K and Gearbox is exactly the kind of real-world experience we strive to provide,” said Chris Armstrong, Director of School of Animation & VFX at Academy of Art University. “These students are aspiring game designers, programmers, writers and animators who will now graduate with hands-on experience and a product of work they can share with prospective employers, making them well-positioned to compete for and win the jobs of today’s global economy.”
