Borderlands 4 was just announced in the weirdest way

The games community is alight withBorderlandstalk. Not of the games, per se, but of the upcoming movie. However, there’s other Borderlands news – some would arguebetternews – that was just announced.

Naturally, discussions aboutBorderlandsare flooding social media, chiefly because not everyone is sold on this attempt to turn yet another video game into afilm. “It simultaneously looks better than I expected but also an absolute train wreck,” posted one Redditor.

We want to celebrate this “announcement” with a beautiful look at how stunningCyberpunk 2077would be with Borderlands' aesthetic

However, there’s more important news up for discussion – likeBorderlands 4being casually announced during an interview.

During the course of aninterviewwith IGN, Gearbox Founder Randy Pitchford described the new Borderlands game as the “greatest thing we’ve ever done”. It’s crucial at this juncture to point out that Pitchford didn’t say the title was definitelyBorderlands 4. However, his response was after he was asked about his favourite from the franchise. As a result, it seems highly likely this is confirmation forBorderlands 4.

Here’s what Pitchford said in full: “Look, we haven’t even announced anything of it. Clearly, we’re working on something. And I know what we’re working on, and holy sh*t… It’s the greatest thing we’ve ever done. And I can’t wait, but it’s not time yet. It’s not time yet. There will be a time.”

As far as announcements go, if this is one, it’s weird. Maybe as a very delayed response to rumours thatBorderlands 4may have alreadyleaked online?

Even then, though, it’s hard to make Pitchford’s announcement less unusual. However, it’s not as ridiculous as the wayXbox confirmed a long-awaited update, but it comes a close second. Very close.
