Gearbox has pledged to change the way you think of first person shooters with its upcoming Borderlands 4. The game’s lead writer Taylor Clark has stated in an interview that they are not making Borderlands 4 simply for the sake of creating yet another sequel. Borderlands 3‘s apparently featured improved gunplay and the company hopes Borderlands 4 can help improve movement and exploration in first person shooter games. With Borderlands 4 having a more open world design than previous games in the series, they wanted to focus on how players get around and explore. We will see whether Gearbox is successful and achieves its goal when Borderlands 4 launches this September.
“Borderlands is almost old enough to drive. It would be strange if it weren’t constantly growing and adapting. And that’s not because we’re trying to meet the market in some cynical way.”
“We are a creative team and there are ideas that we want to express through Borderlands 4,” Clark explains. There are “ways that we want to make it feel like we’re breaking fresh ground again.”
Gearbox “wanted to take that same focused approach” that the studio had on Borderlands 3’s combat overhaul, “but this time for movement and exploration.”
According to Clark, that means “less borders, more lands,” as well as “virtually no loading times” and a non-linear approach to the campaign that lets you deal with main missions “in pretty much any order.”
Already pre-ordered Borderlands 4 look forward to the co-op gameplay, as long as it’s not as bad as Borderlands 3.
why preorder when you can wait and see if it is
Looking forward to it, hope we hear more on the Switch 2 version in the near future
Honestly, I respect Gearbox for not rushing into another Borderlands just to keep the franchise going. Quality over quantity always wins in the long run. On a different note, I’ve been checking out WhatsApp Plus Original lately—it’s cool how it brings back some classic features with a twist. Kind of like revisiting a game series but keeping what made it great in the first place.
They definitely didn’t lose their @ss with the BL movie and need a sequel to recoup losses. 3 was such hot garbage, Gearbox really needs to throw Pitchford overboard.
This approach truly respects both the art and the audience! That same philosophy of quality over quantity applies to fashion, where timeless pieces outlast fleeting trends through careful craftsmanship and design. Just as Gearbox values intentional creation, well-made apparel celebrates heritage and authenticity rather than chasing temporary hype. This thoughtful mindset reminds me of how the Men’s Detroit Tigers Mash Up Logo Varsity Jacket blends nostalgic sports pride with enduring style.
