Borderlands 4 Difference Between Borderlands 3 Not as Big as Fans Thought

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must admit that the latest revelations about Borderlands 4 have left me both intrigued and slightly bewildered. With each installment in this franchise, I’ve grown accustomed to the open-world-lite format, but now, we’re being told it won’t be an open-world game per se.

It seems Randy Pitchford is playing a clever game of semantics here, and I can’t help but chuckle at his choice of words – “I wouldn’t use ‘open world’ to describe Borderlands 4 because the term comes with a lot of baggage that doesn’t apply.” Baggage? More like a suitcase full of expectations!

Still, I’m excited about the prospect of exploring this new planet, Kairos, and unraveling its mysteries. The idea of a ruthless tyrant ruling over the masses sounds like a fantastic setting for the mayhem that Borderlands is known for. I’ll be keeping a close eye on any further developments and can hardly wait to get my hands on this new addition to the series!

Oh, and as for that joke – well, it seems someone forgot to include the “open” part in the description of Borderlands 4, but rest assured, there’ll be plenty of room to explore all the chaos this game has in store!

Last month at The Game Awards, details for Borderlands 4 were revealed and it’s set to launch in 2025 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Although a concrete release date hasn’t been announced yet, we anticipate that the game will come out this summer. Contrary to some fans’ assumptions, Borderlands 4 won’t be an open-world game. Previous statements from Gearbox Software head Randy Pitchford had led some people to believe that Borderlands 4 would be open world, but these assertions have since been explained more clearly.

Previous Borderlands games have been more like semi-open worlds, but they haven’t fully qualified as traditional open-world games. If Borderlands 4 were to adopt the full-fledged open-world format, it would represent a significant shift not only from Borderlands 3, but also for the entire series. However, it seems that this is not the direction they are taking.

Earlier, Pitchford referred to Borderlands 4 as the “most expansive and unrestricted” game in the franchise so far, contrasting it with Borderlands 3, which he characterized as more divided or segmented.

On the social media site X, Pitchford expressed his disinclination towards labeling Borderlands 4 as an “open-world” game due to the connotations associated with the phrase.

Pitchford stated, “I don’t think ‘open world’ is an accurate description for Borderlands 4 as it carries unnecessary connotations that don’t fit. Just wait and see.

Fans of Borderlands are finding themselves somewhat perplexed as to what they should anticipate with Borderlands 4. It seems that Borderlands 4 will offer a more expansive play area than Borderlands 3, yet it won’t be an open-world game entirely. The exact balance between these two aspects has not been made clear.

2025 marks the global release date for Borderlands 4, available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. If you’re interested in staying updated about Borderlands 4 – from the freshest news to the latest rumors, leaks, and speculations – follow this link.

As a diehard fan, I can’t help but get pumped up just reading the description for Borderlands 4! This game promises intense action, with characters that ooze badassery – the Vault Hunters. They’re not just any heroes; they’ve got billions of wild and lethal weapons at their disposal, perfect for a new planet ruled by a tyrant.

I can hardly wait to join the action as one of the four new Vault Hunters, chasing wealth and glory on Kairos. I’ll be using powerful Action Skills, tailoring my playstyle with deep skill trees, and showing off dynamic movement abilities that will leave enemies in the dust.

The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who rules from above, has kept the masses under his thumb – but not for much longer! A catastrophe is shaking up his perfect Order, causing chaos across the planet. It’s time to ignite a resistance and fight my way through mechanical monstrosities, bloodthirsty bandits, and vicious beasts.

I’ll be arming myself with an arsenal of death-dealing firepower, ready to wreak havoc as I tear through Kairos. Borderlands 4 – here I come!
