“Seamless, you say?”

Over on Twitter, Pitchford has sent a short but sweet tweet that raises far more questions than answers in response to one content creator, JoltzDude139, simply enjoying how fast their PC loads Borderlands 2. “Seamless loading will be a reality someday,” theyinnocently write, prompting Pitchford to jump in. “Seamless, you say?” he teases.

After being told under no uncertain terms that he “must elaborate” and “can’t leave us hanging with a message like that with BL4 on the horizon,” for a moment, it seemed that Pitchford really was going to spill the beans. “I will absolutely elaborate,” he proclaims. The problem is, that was 16 hours ago, and he’s not tweeted a thing since. That was enough of that, it seems.

Now, either he’s gotten very distracted, or he wasn’t actually planning to elaborate right then and there in the first place. To be fair, he didn’t saywhenhe would, so he wouldn’t be lying even if he followed up on it next year. For the time being though, we’re left without an explanation, nor anything concrete to know if he was truly talking about Borderlands 4 or not.

Randy Pitchford wasn’t the only one teasing Borderlands 4, because another Gearbox developer basically spoiled the reveal trailer 2 years ago.
