Get ready for a different kind of Borderlands experience! Gearbox’s upcoming Borderlands 4 is shaping up to be their “most ambitious game yet,” according to narrative director Sam Winkler. While the series is known for its humor, Winkler has confirmed a significant shift away from the excessive toilet humor present in Borderlands 3.
Less Skibidi, More Action
Winkler explicitly stated his disapproval of Borderlands 3’s overreliance on toilet humor, promising a reduction in such gags in the upcoming installment. He even joked about the potential emotional distress if the word “skibidi” makes it into the game.
While the game’s humor will be toned down, it’s not going completely serious. The tone will be more refined, focusing on other comedic aspects, according to Winkler’s statement.
What to Expect
A new trailer showcased at The Game Awards revealed Borderlands 4’s new planet and four playable Vault Hunters. While the overall aesthetic remains outlandish, the lessened emphasis on crude humor suggests a more refined and potentially satisfying experience for players when the game launches in 2024.
For those unfamiliar with the “Skibidi Toilet” meme, it’s a quirky internet animation that’s seemingly far removed from what we might see in the new Borderlands installment. This is a significant departure from the previous game, Borderlands 3, which was praised for its shooting mechanics but criticized for its excessive reliance on immature humor by some.
