Borderlands fan with terminal illness asked to see Borderlands 4 early and Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford says 'we're going to do whatever we can to make something happen'

A mechanical hand holds the Borderlands mask.

Caleb McAlpine, a 37-year-old "diehard Borderlands fan" recently diagnosed with terminal stage 4 cancer, asked the Borderlands 3 Reddit yesterday if anyone could help him get in touch with Gearbox developers to see Borderlands 4 early.

In the post, McAlpine says the doctors estimate that he only has seven to 12 months to live, and that even if his chemotherapy treatments work, he would still have less than two years. "Is there anyone who knows how to get in touch with Gearbox to see if there is a way to play the game early?" he asked. "Long shot, but thought I would try."
