Borderlands 4 Is Cutting Back on the Franchise’s Toilet Humor

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Borderlands 4 has me both excited and intrigued. The franchise has always been a staple in my gaming library, and the prospect of returning to its more serious roots while still maintaining its signature humor is a tantalizing proposition.

Initially, the Borderlands series carried a somewhat somber undertone despite its exaggerated style. The initial game’s narrative was more of a backdrop, but it wasn’t until later games that the series really leaned into its crude humor.

In a shift back to the somber atmosphere of earlier Borderlands installments, Borderlands 4 is aiming for a more serious tone, with narrative director Sam Winkler taking charge. Winkler recently addressed fan concerns regarding the game’s tone on platform X, previously known as Twitter.

That’s not to say the game will lack humor. Winkler proclaims that Borderlands 4 is Gearbox’s most ambitious game to date, and he’s been able to work with “some of the funniest people I know as contract writers.”

In summary, you can anticipate Borderlands-style humor to persist, but with a reduced focus on the crude or restroom-related jokes present in its previous installment. However, Winkler and Gearbox have occasionally made lighthearted remarks that could fit seamlessly into the series, so it’s uncertain what we might encounter.

Everything We Know About Borderlands 4

At The Game Awards this year, Gearbox Software officially announced that the upcoming game will revive the feature allowing two players to play together in a split-screen mode cooperatively. Furthermore, we can expect four new characters to explore the realm of Kairos, seeking valuable treasures and renown.

The primary antagonist in the game, known as the Timekeeper, is depicted as a merciless ruler who wields power over the populace from above. However, an unprecedented disaster looms, potentially disrupting his meticulously crafted system, causing chaos to erupt worldwide.

Reports have emerged that a secret follow-up to the game “Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands” may not be happening anymore, as Gearbox Software seems to be dedicating all their efforts towards the development of “Borderlands 4”.
