As a seasoned gamer who has been following the Borderlands series since its inception, I must say that the recent developments regarding Borderlands 4 have piqued my interest. The decision to tone down the toilet humor and focus on more mature writing is a step in the right direction for me. I’ve always loved the witty banter and clever jokes in the series, but the overuse of bathroom humor in the last game was a bit much.
The Borderlands franchise by Gearbox Software appears to be stuck in the late 2000s, as its latest installments haven’t had the same cultural impact as earlier games. However, with the unveiling of Borderlands 4, it seems that Gearbox is aiming for a slightly more mature take on the series, but some fans are skeptical about this change.
In a social media discussion, Sam Winkler (the narrative director for Borderlands 4) disclosed that the new game would significantly reduce the excessive bathroom humor found in its predecessor. As both the development team and the audience have grown more mature, the developer assured fans that there will be no Skibidi Toilet or Hawk Tuah jokes in the upcoming game.
Borderlands 4 jokes may actually be funny
In a tweet conversation with fans, Winkler shared that they can’t disclose many details about BL4’s content due to restrictions, but the team is determined to steer clear of the shortcomings in the narrative of the last game. Although the third installment had significant improvements in gameplay compared to its predecessor, the story was a noticeable disappointment.
As a dedicated fan, I can share that Winkler revealed an interesting aspect about the game’s creation – they’ve relied heavily on “contract writers” throughout its development, enabling them to collaborate with some of the most hilarious talents in the industry. This insight makes it clear that the team is aiming for something fresh and original, steering clear of overused jokes like Skibidi Toilet and Hawk Tuah gags in the final product.
Winkler didn’t directly state that there won’t be any toilets, but if the term ‘Skibidi’ appears in the game during his tenure, he will shed genuine tears.
For several months now, social media posts (tweets) have been widely shared with speculation that a firearm named “Hawk-2A” will appear in Borderlands 4. This rumor is based on the popularity of a meme that later evolved into a podcast and cryptocurrency venture.
A colleague questioned the authenticity, and I felt like I wanted to stick my hand into the garbage disposal,” Winkler told followers. (Informal)
As of now, we don’t have a specific date set for Borderlands 4’s release, but it’s expected to come out in the year 2025. Given the pattern of past games in this series, it’s possible that it will be launched around Fall 2025. However, with GTA 6 also targeting the same timeframe, there’s a chance Borderlands 4 might appear earlier.
