Gearbox has started a series of Borderlands 4 character deep-dives over on its YouTube channel, with Vex the Siren being the first to receive a brief gameplay overview and a longer, animated backstory trailer (below). The latter is not at all what I would've expected, but yup, it looks like I'll be playing as the Siren Vault Hunter once again.
Siren origin stories vary dramatically across the Borderlands lore tapestries, and Vex may have the most surprising manifestation yet. Her character trailer, "Purple Friday," feels like a much gorier, moderately more violent version of every retail worker's secret fantasy: finally giving rowdy customers a piece of your mind. And in this case, also a piece of their mind, freshly spooned out of what used to be their skull.
