When we set out to make a large, seamless world in Borderlands 4, we didn’t quite know what we were getting into. We designed a massive world and we committed ourselves to filling it! Thread: 1/12 We also had the ambition to add mobility and traversal capabilities for the player character like never before. Double-jumping, grappling, dashing, gliding. This makes our seamless world design even more challenging because players can, and will, get everywhere. 2/12

Let’s talk about mini-maps and radar as they relate to navigation and combat design in Borderlands 4. If you stay with it, there’s a gift for you at the end. Thread: 1/32 Navigation first… Borderlands 4 is much larger than ever before, and seamless. There are main missions and side quests (lots of them) that often have objectives, sometimes multiple objectives, further than the scope of a useful mini-map. 2/32

Thank you. 1/ With Borderlands 3 I have made a commitment to consistency with how things were done in Borderlands 2. I am proud of our record of good will and best-in-class customer value with the main games and with DLC we added as our fans demanded more content.

2/ Borderlands 3 will be consistent with what players have come to expect from prior Borderlands games - except Borderlands 3 is a bigger, better and more valuable experience. We expect that to continue as we look at campain DLC as well.

@LilMcFlurry There is an important question I think is worth asking: What are these company’s values and given that, which of these companies is more likely to progress at the fastest rate on behalf of the customer and the developer/publisher? @LilMcFlurry The answer to this question is very useful to the answer to the questions you asked...

@LilMcFlurry So this point is about comparing relative features, right? That currently Steam has features that Epic’s store does not? I think it’s a fair point and I’ll be happy to look at that point with you over a few following tweets. Please don’t respond until I say “done”. Okay? @LilMcFlurry First - Please understand that although I may have thoughts and opinions about this topic, the authority here truly is in the hands of our publishing partner, 2k Games. So while I may have some influence, I cannot force anything (and this ship has sailed, so to speak).

1/ Todd Robbins is an awesome performer who is a master of the side-show. He does stuff like hammer a nail into his face or eat a light bulb whole, which is real. He also does some magic, which is fake. I’m going somewhere with this... 2/ He once said (paraphrased), “When I make something vanish (which is a magic trick, and fake), people will swear that it is real. But when I eat a light bulb (which is not magic, and is real) people will swear that it is fake - a trick.”
