Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford admits he’s a “little nervous” about Borderlands 4’s “more challenging” difficulty.
In an interview with Insider Gaming, Pitchford acknowledged that “a lot” of Borderland players “aren’t interested in deep, hard challenges”, adding “we definitely have pushed the challenges quite a lot, especially with bosses and boss fight mechanics”.
“We have lots of players that actually aren’t interested in deep, hard challenges; lots of people that love just exploring the Borderlands or spending time with the characters,” Pitchford said.
“I’m a little nervous because there are points of Borderlands 4 that are more challenging, but one of the coolest things about Borderlands 4, because of the nature of the RPG, is if anything is a little challenging for you, you can just grind somewhere and level up and become more powerful.
“You will find that things that were hard when you were a little chump will become trivial when you become a badass. But we definitely have pushed the challenges quite a lot, especially with bosses and boss fight mechanics.”
Borderlands 4 was announced last August, and we finally got a first look at the looter-shooter sequel when The Game Awards rolled around in December. Since then, we’ve had thoughts on that Borderlands film flop, a promise to cut back on the toilet humour for the series’ fourth instalment, and, as Matt described it, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford’s putting his foot in it so many times on social media, it’s a miracle publisher Take-Two didn’t hide his phone. Borderlands 4’s elusive Switch 2 release date was recently revealed: 3rd October.
