Borderlands 4 is set to launch on September 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, marking the franchise's entry into the current console generation. Gearbox Software has launched a YouTube series, Beyond the Borderlands, to showcase the game's development. Central to the game is the creation of relevant vault hunters, with input for character design coming from across the company. Lead designer Nick Thurston emphasizes that characters must embody the principle of being 'badass'. Pricing details are yet to be revealed, though controversy arose from an $80 comment by Gearbox's Randy Pitchford.
We want them to be somebody that players and ourselves can relate to... It starts with the ideation of trying to define and decipher what kind of fantasies we want to build for players.
The guiding principle of Borderlands, just in general, is just to be badass. The abilities, the gear, everything; it all has to be the things that our community expects.
Randy Pitchford caused some controversy when he suggested that 'real fans' will find a way to come up with $80 to buy it.
Borderlands 4 will hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on September 12, with a Switch 2 port planned for later.
