Is Borderlands reverse delaying to avoid stepping on Marathon’s toes? Or is it avoiding something even bigger?
While we’ve become all too accustomed to a classic game delay, it’s rare that we see a game yaled. Y’know, undelayed. Hastened. Advanced. Okay, I’m putting my thesaurus away to tell you that Gearbox just revealed that it’ll be bringing Borderlands 4’s release date forward by an entire week and a half.
That’s taken the release date from September 23 to September 12, which is a pretty big leap forward in Videogame Release World. I also can’t help but note that the last time a big game pulled something like this it was Baldur’s Gate 3, when Larian attempted to nimbly sidestep Bethesda’s presumed juggernaut Starfield. A funny move in hindsight, but one that was certainly smart in the moment.
