Borderlands fans were absolutely delighted earlier this year when it was officially revealed that the next installment was indeed in development and that it is arriving later this year. However, after the unveiling of Borderlands 3, one fan by the name of Trevor Eastman took to Reddit in hopes of reaching Gearbox Software and 2K. Why he was doing this is because he has "been a huge fan of Borderlands for a long time now...and I don't know if I'll live to see Borderlands 3," reads his original Reddit post. What Eastman also revealed in the same post is that he has terminal cancer, but according to a recent update, it looks like he'll get to play Borderlands 3 early.

"Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you all that were kind enough to upvote and tweet about my situation an update," he said in a recent Reddit post. "One of the people from 2k has been talking to me(not sure if I'm allowed to say who so I won't mention a name) and he's making it happen. They're flying somebody out at the beginning of June most likely to give me a copy of the game. I just wanted to thank you all so much for helping make this dream come true. It means the world to me that you all cared enough to do that for me."

It's unknown if Eastman will actually be receiving a copy of the game when the 2K rep flies out next month, or if there will be another scenario arranged. Either way, it's great to see the community come together in an effort to get this fan an opportunity to play Borderlands 3 early.

Borderlands 3 is set to arrive on September 13th for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
