“Borderlands 4 shipping early is 100% the result of confidence in the game and development trajectory backed by actual tasks and bug find/fix rates,“ Pitchford tweeted on Tuesday. ”Our decision is literally 0% about any other product’s actual or theoretical launch date.“
We’re super confident in the game and we are ready to launch early, so there was no sense in holding out. The sooner we launch, the sooner we’ll also get feedback. We listen and learn and are excited to get a bite at that apple as we are working on exciting post-launch efforts.
Gearbox is expected to show off a bit more of Borderlands 4 in its own dedicated State of Play broadcast scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Thursday. The 20-minute showcase will feature “developer-guided gameplay, including missions, killer weapons, and exciting Action Skills, new and returning characters, and more,” per a news release.
