Summary

  • Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox, has announced that the release date of Borderlands 4 is being moved forward from September 23rd to September 12th.
  • The information was shared in a since-deleted video that was posted prematurely, prompting Pitchford to repost the video once the news was already out.
  • Some believe the change may not be related to development speed and confidence, but rather the previous date being the same as that announced for the new Bungie game Marathon.
  • Borderlands 4’s original date would probably have been far from the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is published by Take-Two, the same company behind Borderlands 4.
  • Borderlands 4’s move could be seen as stepping into an elevator with a gassy teenager to avoid the other elevator containing the obnoxious monopoly of Grand Theft Auto 6.
  • Whatever the reason for the change, Borderlands 4 fans won’t have to wait as long as originally expected to start shooting.
