There will be no open world in Borderlands 4. What does Gearbox have in store?
Borderlands fans eagerly await the fourth installment of the popular looter-shooter series. Early trailers showcased significant advancements, including enhanced scale and exploration options. However, it's crucial to note that the game isn't a fully open-world experience.
Gearbox Software co-founder, Randy Pitchford, explicitly stated that he avoids labeling Borderlands 4 as "open world," citing unsuitable connotations for the game's design. While Pitchford didn't detail the specific differences, Borderlands 4 clearly distinguishes between guided gameplay sequences and free-form exploration.
Despite this, Borderlands 4 is poised to be the franchise's most expansive title yet. Players will enjoy seamless movement across all accessible areas without loading screens. To avoid aimless wandering within the vast game world, developers have focused on creating a structured and engaging adventure.
While a concrete release date remains unannounced, a 2025 launch is anticipated. Borderlands 4 will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
