The game is complete and ready to be shipped when September rolls around.
It seems work on Borderlands 4 really has gone according to plan. Not only has the game pulled its release date forward, but it also has gone gold well over a month before launch. Gearbox announced the completion status for the game on social media, where now it seems all we have to do is wait for the release date to roll around.
What does going gold mean? Well, in layman’s terms it means the game is basically done. All the major work is completed and while patches later down the line will work to eliminate some bugs and boost performance, the game is in a state ready to be released to the public.
