Good news, Borderlands fans – the release window forBorderlands 4just got narrowed down, and potentially by quite a lot if you want to add up all the clues that’ve been left behind byGearboxand its owner, Take-Two Interactive.
So, where does that leave us? Well, that’s up for debate – it depends on how close the two games could be released without Take-Two considering them to be clashing.GTA 6still doesn’t have an exact release date, which makes the whole thing trickier to work out, but ‘Fall’ probably indicates a release for it sometime between September and the end of November. In theory, if Zelnick simply refers to the games avoiding launching in the same seasonal window, that could leave Borderlands 4’s release sometime between April and before September or after that in December.
As Borderlands 2 fan flexes their super-fast loading, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford appears to tease “seamless” Borderlands 4 loading, then refuses to elaborate.
