Oh man, yesterday was a wild one for Borderlands 4 fans. Seriously, it was like this massive info dump. So, get this — the release date got bumped from September 23rd to the 12th. Not sure why this feels like finding a fiver in an old coat pocket, but it does. Anyway, the game’s all about shaking things up. Legendary loot’s not gonna be ten a penny anymore, and the open world is gonna have these fab exploration tools. Players are super into the new Vault Hunters, even if the reveal trailer kinda got folks talking — maybe in a way Gearbox didn’t expect?
So, what do we know about these Vault Hunters? Honestly, not much. The trailer kinda left us hanging. But hey, meet Vex the Siren, Rafa the Exo-Soldier, Harlowe the Gravitar (really digging that name, by the way), and Amon the Forgeknight. Seems like everyone’s got their pet theories about how these characters are gonna play, especially since Vex’s skill trees got a little sneak peek. Fewer details on the others though — like, thanks for that tease, right?
Switch gears with me here: remember how Borderlands 3 skimped on DLC Vault Hunters? People definitely had thoughts on that. Gearbox seems to be taking notes from fans — or maybe just throwing us off with some clever wording. Fingers crossed for them rolling out new Hunters post-launch to keep folks hooked. I mean, added characters could totally give Borderlands 4 some serious staying power. Let’s be real, it’s kind of the shot in the arm this franchise might need.
Anyway, back to Vex. She’s shaping up to be a total badass with minions like this beast of a cat named Trouble (seriously, could that name be any more on the nose?) and some ghostly, scythe-wielding creature. More details are bound to drop soon — and I’m here for it. Those other Vault Hunters better bring their A-game!
Wrapping it up: Gearbox is betting big with Borderlands 4, and tossing in DLC Vault Hunters seems like a win. Most people loved that about BL2 and The Pre-Sequel, so why not bring it back? It’s like Gearbox is saying, “Yeah, we heard you.” Here’s hoping they deliver and we get some fresh faces in the lineup. More Hunters wouldn’t just be cool; it’d be a game changer. Fingers crossed, folks!
