There will be no open world in Borderlands 4. What does Gearbox have in store?

Borderlands fans eagerly await the fourth installment of the beloved looter-shooter franchise. The initial trailer showcased significant advancements, promising increased scale and exploration. However, it's crucial to clarify: Borderlands 4 isn't a fully open-world game.

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

Nevertheless, Borderlands 4 is poised to be the series' most expansive entry yet. Players will enjoy seamless traversal across all accessible areas without loading screens. To prevent aimless wandering within the vast game world, developers have 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.
