He stated that the game would be revealed in due time, but it is shaping up to be this team’s best work yet. However, eagle-eyed fans on social media may have already figured out when the reveal is happening.

A popular theory on Reddit suggests that Borderlands 4 could be announced in March. Gearbox Entertainment’s official Twitter account has recently posted recap tweets exactly one week apart, going over the various games.

Fans speculate that the fourth entry will be revealed on March 19 if this pattern stays consistent. This date would land the announcement at PAX East, an event that hosted the Borderlands 3 announcement in the past.

The last major releases for this IP came in 2022. In addition to the well-received Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Gearbox released the narrative-adventure New Tales From The Borderlands in the same year.

However, these projects were spin-offs, with 2024 marking nearly five years since the last mainline release.

Overall, excitement is high for Borderlands 4. Randy Pitchford appears quite excited about the nearing reveal, echoing a similar sentiment as the worldwide fanbase.
