Gearbox Entertainment CCO Randy Varnell reveals that development began immediately after the team shipped Borderlands 3 in 2019.
Borderlands 4 will allow players to visit just about any object they see in the horizon, even if it's "a mile away" or "up in the sky".
Gearbox's Randy Pitchford notes that game-breaking drops could occur due to "so much loot and so many procedural combinations."
Randy Pitchford asks fans to play first "and understand the choices we've made" and to see and understand "how big this world is."
"The truth is, I don't know what the price is going to be," says Gearbox Entertainment CEO about the upcoming looter shooter.
