As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours blasting through the desolate landscapes of Pandora and battling against the iconic Handsome Jack, I must admit that the teaser for Borderlands 4 has me intrigued. The idea of a new sinister villain is enticing, especially since it promises to be even more dangerous than our beloved Jack.

As stated by Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford, Borderlands 4 is expected to present an adversary that’s more perilous and malevolent than the renowned series antagonist, Handsome Jack. The announcement of Borderlands 4 was made during Gamescom Opening Night Live, where it served as the primary unveiling. While the cinematic trailer for Borderlands 4 didn’t disclose much about the game, it did provide some crucial insights into what fans can anticipate.

The teaser trailer for Borderlands 4 has officially revealed that the game will be released in 2025, and upon its launch, it can be played on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Moreover, it’s been confirmed that Borderlands 4 will occur on a planet different from Pandora, which has been the main setting for the series thus far. Interestingly, it appears the trailer may contain more secrets than fans initially perceived, leading them to scrutinize each frame in hopes of uncovering additional hints about this much-awaited game.

Recently on Twitter, Randy Pitchford confirmed that the Borderlands 4 teaser trailer contains hidden details yet to be discovered by fans. Upon closer examination of the trailer, viewers have noticed several intriguing facts, one of which seems to be a nod towards Handsome Jack. In a particular scene, a face briefly appears with a vault symbol over it, resembling the emblem that Handsome Jack bears. This has sparked speculation among fans about the possible return of Handsome Jack in Borderlands 4. However, Pitchford later clarified on Twitter that this mysterious figure is not hinting at Handsome Jack’s comeback, but rather alluding to something far more menacing and sinister instead.

Borderlands 4 Will Have Something More Sinister Than Handsome Jack

The characters from the villainous side of the Borderlands series have gained a lot of fan appreciation, leading many to eagerly anticipate who the main antagonists will be in Borderlands 4. One idea circulating online suggests that the teaser trailer hints towards the Eridians, an alien race, as the potential adversaries for Borderlands 4. For now, fans can keep analyzing the teaser trailer for additional hints, but they’ll likely need official updates to learn more definitively.

In simpler terms, the Eridians are an enigmatic and old extraterrestrial species responsible for creating the vaults, which have been driving the main characters, known as Vault Hunters, in their quests across the entire game series.

Information regarding Borderlands 4 is still not definitive as to when it will be disclosed further. Given that Borderlands 4 was one of the highlights at Geoff Keighley’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, there’s a chance it may make an appearance at The Game Awards 2024 on December 12. However, additional details about the game could also surface randomly, leaving fans in suspense until more information is released. For now, fans can keep speculating about potential villains and other features that Borderlands 4 might include when it’s launched in 2025.
