Now, just a few short months before release, players already know quite a bit about the upcoming looter shooter sequel. A first look trailer for the game was released back in December, showcasing cinematics and unveiling the struggle that will take place on the new setting planet: Kairos.
However, while players are given a general sense of the game’s plot and characters, the early trailers primarily featured cinematics and didn’t showcase much gameplay. While fans eventually received an extended gameplay trailer for the game, there is still plenty of room for Pitchford and the team behind Borderlands 4 to keep some features and details close to the chest before release.
The game’s scope has already promised to up the ante from previous titles and is set to feature “billions of weapons and accessories.” We also know from an April development blog that the tried-and-true rarity system will be getting an overhaul in Borderlands 4, which the team promises will make legendary drops feel more rewarding and have more surprises in store for players.
This recent X post is not the first time Pitchford has cryptically teased Borderlands 4. Back in August, Pitchford made a post shifting focus away from the Borderlands movie to raise the hype levels for the anticipated video game sequel.
“So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done. I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard four you on what’s next,” wrote Pitchford in an August 10th X post.
