One of the fans of the Borderlands series published a sad message on Reddit that due to the late stage of cancer he may not have time to play the fourth part. Gearbox Software studio responded to the fan’s request.
Redditor Caleb McAlpine said in the thematic community that he was really looking forward to the release Borderlands 4. However, he may not live to see the game’s release: the 37-year-old gamer was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. Doctors gave a disappointing prognosis: according to them, the fan had no more than two years left. Then the player decided to take a risk and ask Gearbox for early access to the game.
Studio co-founder Randy Pitchford responded to the fan’s request and responded to calls from other users. On social networks he said that he had already contacted Caleb McAlpine:
Taking into account this answer, we can hope that the gamer will still realize his dream and at least participate in testing the game. In the comments, other players advised the studio to add an Easter egg to Borderlands 4 in honor of a loyal fan.
However, the head of Gearbox responded to another request from fans. A user nicknamed Joltzdude139 complained about the lack of a seamless world in Borderlands. In response, Randy Pitchford hinted that it could be implemented in the fourth installment.
Let us remind you that Borderlands 4 will be released in 2025 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. In August, the developers briefly talked about the future game and shared concept art.
