No Open World in Borderlands 4: What's Next?

Borderlands fans eagerly await the fourth installment of the popular looter-shooter series. Early trailers showcased significant advancements, including scale and exploration options, but it's important to note that it's not a fully open-world game.

Gearbox Software co-founder Randy Pitchford clarified that he avoids calling Borderlands 4 "open world," citing inappropriate connotations for the game. While Pitchford didn't detail the specifics, he highlighted the distinction between guided gameplay sequences and free-roaming exploration.

Despite this, Borderlands 4 is poised to be the largest entry in the franchise. Players will enjoy seamless traversal across all accessible areas without loading screens. To avoid aimless wandering in the vast game world, developers focused on creating a more structured and engaging experience.

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.
