Post-Launch Content Plans

Gearbox has outlined plans for both free and paid content after launch. The paid DLC will include new Vault Hunters, expanded areas of Kairos, story missions, side quests, challenges, and enemies, though full details haven’t been revealed yet.

The announcement comes after Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford faced criticism for earlier comments about game pricing. When a fan asked him not to price the game at $80, Pitchford initially suggested that “real fans” would find a way to afford higher prices. He later clarified that while development costs are rising, the final price wasn’t set at the time of those comments.

David Ismailer, President of 2K, praised the development team’s work, saying they’ve “raised the bar for Borderlands 4” while keeping the core looter-shooter experience that fans expect. Pitchford called it “the best entry point for new players” and “a heartfelt love letter to fans of the original games.”
