The Future of Borderlands: More Guns, More Humor, and Maybe Some Relationships?
Ah, Borderlands, how we love thee. With every new installment, Gearbox Software brings us joy, laughter, and an arsenal of weapons that would make even Rambo blush. And fear not, fellow Vault Hunters, for the core elements that make Borderlands so addictive will surely remain intact in the next installment.
What can we expect from the future of Borderlands? Well, besides the expected improvements in graphics and gameplay, there’s room for some exciting experimentation. But before we dive into that, let’s take a moment to appreciate the things that make Borderlands, well, Borderlands.
Firstly, the unique cel shaded visual style that sets this series apart from the rest. It’s like stepping into a comic book world and getting caught in a whirlwind of explosions and irreverent humor. And speaking of humor, Borderlands has it in spades. From hilarious quests to characters with witty one-liners, it’s a game that never takes itself too seriously.
Of course, what truly sets Borderlands apart is its vast arsenal of guns. Collecting hundreds of unique weapons is a staple of the series, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Exploding shotguns, homing sniper rifles, and rocket launchers that shoot flaming hamburgers – you name it, Borderlands has it. It’s a gun aficionado’s paradise.
But now, let’s talk about something new and exciting: a relationship system. Picture this: you, the Vault Hunter, not only forming a bond with your favorite NPCs but also reaping the rewards of those friendships. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?

In the failed marvel of Marvel’s Midnight Suns, there’s a relationship system that could fit perfectly into the Borderlands universe. Yes, failed marvel, but still a great game with innovative features that deserve recognition. In Midnight Suns, players level up their relationship with each hero, unlocking special boosts along the way. How, you ask? By going on missions together, training, hanging out, and even giving them gifts.
Now, imagine implementing this system in Borderlands. After every major story event, you could check in with your favorite NPCs aboard Sanctuary 3, earning XP and strengthening your bond. Completing quests for them could deepen the connection even further. And hey, finding and giving them gifts could be a great way to show your appreciation too. FL4K might love a special collar for one of their beasts, while Gaige could geek out over new tools for Deathtrap.
But it’s not just about leveling up your relationships for fun. Oh no, there are rewards to be had. With each relationship milestone, you could unlock character-specific weapons. Imagine acquiring a legendary gun through a heartfelt conversation, rather than simply tipping Mad Moxxi some cash. And at maximum relationship level, you could even uncover hidden secrets about the characters, shedding light on Fiona’s whereabouts or unraveling the mysteries of Zer0.
You see, Borderlands is more than just guns and loot. It’s also about the unforgettable characters that populate its world. It’s about the charismatic villains, the quirky NPCs, and the badass Vault Hunters we all adore. So, a relationship system that allows us to delve deeper into their lives and their stories would be nothing short of incredible.
So, fellow Vault Hunters, as we await the next entry in the Borderlands series, let’s keep our fingers crossed for more guns, more humor, and maybe, just maybe, some meaningful relationships. After all, what’s a loot-filled adventure without a few friendships along the way?
P.S. Gearbox, if you’re reading this, give us the gift of relationships in Borderlands 4. We promise we’ll buy more guns too!
