Pitchford had stated in 2013 that a new entry in the Brothers in Arms series will arrive in the future, but Gearbox will hold off on making an announcement on the game until the time is appropriate.[9] In a 2014 interview with Polygon, Pitchford explained about the decision to turn Furious 4 into a new intellectual property, saying that after plenty of internal discussion, the studio came to the conclusion that "Furious 4 just wasn't right for Brothers in Arms". He said this led to a decision that Brothers in Arms did deserve a new game which they had been working on for a while and it would be announced when they feel it is the right time to do so.[10]
Pitchford revealed that Furious 4 "is not a thing anymore".[11] Many elements of the game were inherited by and transferred to Battleborn, which is a new intellectual property from Gearbox.[12] The company announced that they were working on a new "authentic" Brothers in Arms video game, and was seeking additional help from external developers.[13] Currently, no news about new game from Brothers in Arms series came afterwards.
