Let’s take a look at the rumors and information available about the next title.
Borderlands 3: Plotline
According to trailers, the antagonists of the next Borderlands are Calypso Twins. Calypso Twins hold powers similar to Siren. However, according to the game lore, Siren cannot be male which is interesting because the dark-haired twin is Troy. The female’s name is Tyreen.
According to the theories floating around on the web, the plotline is possibly about the twins stealing powers from the Siren.
