Gearbox Addresses Your Borderlands 4 Questions at PAX East Roundtable

Sure thing, here’s a rewrite:

So, Gearbox Software—those folks behind Borderlands, right?—jumped into a chat at PAX East. Kinda like a pow-wow but digital, you know? They were tossing around tidbits about Borderlands 4. I guess they had some gameplay stuff going down on PlayStation’s State of Play or something. Made total sense to do some Q&A after that, right?

Anyway, this one’s set on Kairos—not your average sunny getaway. More like a “watch-your-back” type of planet. You’ve got these four Vault Hunters (or, well, you play as one). They’re out for treasure and legends or maybe just bored. There’s this Timekeeper dude who sounds like he’s got control issues. Rules the planet with an iron fist, but a disaster’s looming large. Classic.

I picture blasting through all kinds of chaos—robots, punks, wild beasts. Like a junkyard but alive and terrifying. And you’re building this wicked arsenal—guns that practically scream “don’t mess with me”—while you rock these crazy Action Skills.

Solo play? Cool! Or wreck things with friends—up to three tag-alongs. The game’s promising some freestyle combat, epic boss showdowns, loot that keeps on coming, and characters that, I dunno, you might actually remember for once.

And yeah, mark 2025 on whatever calendar apps folks are using by then. It’s dropping both in stores and on this Nintendo eShop deal for the Switch 2. Who knows what kinda tech we’re stumbling into by then?

How’s that?
