Borderlands 4 launch in advance has “literally 0%” to do with the release date of GTA 6, the marathon or anything else saving “trust”, says Gearbox Boss

Change and take-two recently has carried out the release of chopped guns Borderlands 4 From 23 September to 12 September. This arrived a week or two after Bungie and Sony even decisive To release theirs Marathon Restart on September 23rd.

If you thought that all that test of publishers who played chess 4D around the release date currently without notice GTA 6With Bungie and Sony who made the right hypothesis that Take-Two does not release GTA 6 and Borderlands 4 the same day … then you were wrong. You should be ashamed to speculate in this way! Pshaw! Harrumph! Damn your eyes, Lord, and damn the stalking horse on which you ridden.

So says the head of the change Randy Pitchford, who climbed the parapets of social media to insist on the fact that the new Borderlands are only sending soon because it is super, Duper good, and not because the gearbox is trying to avoid a struggle for the lift with the marathon OR The undivistent impact site of the GTA 6 meteor 6, which will surely cancel the sales of any fairly foolish game to be sent in the immediate vicinity.

“Borderlands 4 Shipping in advance is 100% the result of trust in the game and the development trajectory supported by actual tasks and research/correction rates of bugs”, he wrote Pitchford. “Our decision is literally 0% on the actual or theoretical launch date of any other product.”

As is the lot of many items standing on the parapets, Pitchford is getting a lot of warmth for these statements that Borderlands 4 is simply damn brilliant to be delivered to the desolate lands in late September. Xitter’s responses are harmful: three gifs and counts of Dr Evil Fingerquote, also a pinocchio, an anchorman and several dogs with collateral eyes. Now to see if the marathon also suffers a sudden excess of trust and carries on its release date for a few weeks. The big game continues.

According to what we know for sure, GTA 6 will be released in autumn 2025. “There is a slip in the sector and we are not immune,” commented two CEO Strauss Zelnick in November. “However, we have reduced the times because we are very confident in that timing.”
