Borderlands 4 Lacks Open World: Gearbox

Borderlands fans eagerly await the fourth chapter in the popular looter-shooter series. Early trailers showcased significant advancements, including enhanced scale and exploration options. However, it's crucial to note that this isn't a fully open-world game.

Gearbox Software co-founder, Randy Pitchford, clarified that he avoids labeling Borderlands 4 as "open world," citing inappropriate connotations for the game's design. While Pitchford didn't detail the specific distinctions, Borderlands 4 clearly differentiates between guided gameplay sequences and free-form exploration.

Nevertheless, Borderlands 4 is poised to be the franchise's largest entry yet. Players will enjoy seamless traversal across all explorable areas without loading screens. Developers have focused on structuring the vast game world to ensure engaging and purposeful exploration, preventing aimless wandering.

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.
