After asking the Borderlands 3 community if anyone might know a way for him to see Borderlands 4 early, Caleb McAlpine, a 37-year-old army veteran and Borderlands fan with stage 4 cancer, saw an outpouring of support including a huge boost to his treatment GoFundMe. Gearbox was informed of his situation, and after outreach from CEO Randy Pitchford, McAlpine says there are now plans for him to visit the developer's Texas headquarters next month and see Borderlands 4 as it looks right now.
Borderlands 4 is the next installment in one of McAlpine's all-time favorite series, but it won't be out until sometime in 2025. It could well be late 2025 even with no delay. McAlpine's doctors have told him he has limited time to live – roughly 7 - 12 months, and still less than two years assuming his treatment goes well.
