Borderlands 4 may have been teased by Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford, who sent a tantalizing hint about what could be the next big project for the studio. Pitchford hinted at a mysterious endeavor that he believes could surpass anything Gearbox has done before, and fans are speculating about the long rumored Borderlands 4.

The Borderlands video game series is a popular franchise known for its blend of first-person shooter action and role-playing game elements. Developed by Gearbox Software, Borderlands is set in a post-apocalyptic world called Pandora, filled with bandits, mutants, and treasure hunters. The games are characterized by their distinctive cel-shaded graphics, over-the-top humor, and a vast array of weaponry with randomly generated attributes. Players traverse the world completing missions, battling enemies, and collecting loot either alone or cooperatively with friends.

New Borderlands Code Gets You Free Keys in Multiple Games

For a limited time, a new SHiFT code grants players free Golden and Skeleton Keys in multiple Borderlands games, including Borderlands 3.

In a recent interview with IGN, when asked about his personal favorite entry from the Borderlands series, Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford hinted at a huge mysterious project. "It’s the greatest thing we've ever done," he said without mentioning whether it has anything to do with the Borderlands series. Pitchford also mentioned he can’t wait to be able to share more information about this project; however, he said that it is still not the time to do so.

What Are Fans Speculating About Borderlands 4?

While there has been no official confirmation regarding the Borderlands 4 release date or any specifics, fans have been buzzing with speculation following a couple of intriguing tweets from the Borderlands official account. The first tweet featured a video recapping the entire first game in the series with the caption, "This is how it all started." The second tweet followed a similar pattern, featuring a recap of the series' second installment, Borderlands 2. Some players speculate that the Borderlands account might continue releasing recaps of the remaining games until reaching a Borderlands 4 announcement.

It’s the greatest thing we've ever done.

Adding to fans' excitement, an upcoming American science fiction action-comedy film based on the Borderlands series is set to hit theaters on August 9, 2024. Starring an ensemble cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and others, the Borderlands movie promises to bring the popular characters and universe to life on the big screen. In this movie, an outlaw named Lilith returns to her home planet to find the missing daughter of the universe's most powerful figure. Teaming up with a diverse group of unlikely allies, they battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits while uncovering secrets that could change the fate of the universe.

As anticipation builds within the gaming community, the prospect of Borderlands 4 looms large, with fans awaiting any further hints or announcements from Gearbox. Only time will tell what surprises Gearbox has in store for fans of its long-running franchise, which is considered one of the best looter shooter series.
