Borderlands 4 is back, and as our review outlines, it’s the recentering of the classic looter shooter series needed after the last game divided the fanbase in 2019. Borderlands 4 still has the four-player co-op antics and wild weapon variety the series is known for (30 billion of them this time around, to be exact), and adds some new wrinkles to the formula, like a seamless open world and crossplay.
In short, it seems Gearbox has brought things back to the glory days of Borderlands 2, and expanded on those core ideas thanks to today’s technology. According to Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford, Borderlands 4 finally makes good on everything the developer wanted to do with the series right from the beginning.
