Borderlands 4 Teases Fifth Vault Hunter with Hilarious Reference to Randy Pitchford
In a surprise move, Borderlands 4 is set to reveal its fifth Vault Hunter at the Tokyo Game Show tonight, leaving fans and industry insiders alike scratching their heads. The tease, which dropped earlier today, hints that this new character will be channeling the spirit of Gambit, but with a twist that has left many laughing.
According to sources, the reveal will take place at 10:30 PM EST, and will give players a sneak peek at what's in store for them next year. The teaser itself features a pair of cards stuck in sand, complete with skulls on them - a clear nod to card-based gameplay. But it's not just the gameplay that has fans excited; it's also the humor behind it.
"This is going to be hilarious," said industry analyst and Forbes contributor Paul Tassi. "Randy Pitchford loves magic, and he's even done card tricks on stage before. It's a clever reference, and I'm sure players will appreciate the nod."
For those who may not know, Randy Pitchford is the CEO of Gearbox Software, the studio behind Borderlands 4. He's known for his enthusiasm and love of all things gaming, but also for his... let's say, "unique" sense of humor.
The reveal comes just two weeks after the game's release, leaving many to wonder what's next for the franchise. Will this new Vault Hunter be a fan favorite? Only time will tell.
