Borderlands fans eagerly await the fourth installment of the popular loot-shooter series. Early trailers showcased impressive advancements in scale and explorative possibilities. However, it's crucial to understand that Borderlands 4 isn't a fully open-world game.
Gearbox Software co-founder, Randy Pitchford, clarified that he avoids labeling Borderlands 4 as "open world," citing connotations unsuitable for the game's design. While Pitchford didn't detail the specifics, the game clearly distinguishes between guided gameplay sequences and moments of free-roaming exploration.
Nevertheless, Borderlands 4 is poised to be the largest entry in the franchise. Players will enjoy seamless traversal across all accessible areas without loading screens. To avoid aimless wandering in the expansive game world, developers have focused on creating a structured and engaging experience.
While a precise release date remains unannounced, a 2025 launch is anticipated. Borderlands 4 will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
