Borderlands 4: No Open World, Gearbox

Borderlands fans eagerly await the fourth entry in the popular looter-shooter series. The initial trailer showcased significant advancements, including enhanced scale and exploration options. However, it's important to note that it's not a fully open-world game.

Gearbox Software co-founder, Randy Pitchford, clarified that he avoids labeling Borderlands 4 as "open world," citing unsuitable connotations for the game. While Pitchford didn't detail the specifics differentiating Borderlands 4 from open-world titles, he highlighted a clear distinction between guided gameplay sequences and free-form exploration.

Nevertheless, Borderlands 4 is poised to be the franchise's most expansive title yet. Players will enjoy seamless traversal across all accessible areas without loading screens. To prevent aimless wandering in the vast game world, the developers have prioritized a more structured and engaging adventure.

While a precise release date remains unannounced, a 2025 launch is anticipated. Borderlands 4 will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
