Later much enterprise and waiting, Gearbox has eventually blazoned Borderlands 4 is releasing coming time. The fourth investiture of the plant’s premier plunderer- shooter series was blazoned at Gamescom with an portentous, cryptic teaser caravan, wherein a mysterious robotic hand reaches down and lifts one of the now- iconic sickie masks. farther details on the title are presently unclear, though Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford took to X, formerly Twitter, to disband addict enterprise that the game would see the return of Handsome Jack.

Pitchford promised suckers that the coming game’s antagonist would be commodity “ far more important and minatory ” than Jack. While these commentary cleared the air on Jack’s possible return to the series, they did n’t do much differently to cquaint suckers in on who exactly the big bad of Borderlands 4 might be. Indeed though Pitchford asserted the new villain is an indeed bigger trouble than Jack ever was, that may not be saying as much as one would suppose.

Borderlands 4's Villain is Bigger and Badder than Handsome Jack

Pitchford’s choice of words then was enough telling “ More important and more minatory. ” Handsome Jack is, and at this rate presumably always will be, one of the topmost videotape game antagonists of all time. His characterization as an unrelentingly sardonic, callously violent psycho encapsulates the tone of the series impeccably and remains a massive megahit with suckers. Jack is a lot of effects, but important and minatory may not be the stylish words to describe him.

Jack is important in the abstract sense. As CEO of Borderlands 2's Hyperion, he has the full force of one of the major pots at his reverse and that’s nothing to sneeze at. But Jack himself is just a joe. His master fight at the end of the story can be trivially easy for numerous Vault nimrods, and at the end of the game, he dies as unceremoniously as any other bandit plugged down during the former hours of gameplay.

And as far as minatory goes, that is n’t exactly a good description of Jack moreover. He for sure gets darker toward the end of the game after Angel dies, but one would be hard- pressed to suppose the joe who chased the name Butt Stallion as minatory. His early- game comedy prevents him from truly earning that title.

Who Could the Villain of Borderlands 4 Be?

Given that “ more important and more minatory ” than Jack seems not as high a bar to clear, it’s fair to wonder what type of villain the series might be getting in its fifth investiture. It’s safe to say that the series is eventually moving down from commercial antagonists, as has been the case with utmost of the games in the series therefore far. And that hand in the teaser caravan was n't mortal, which rules out any possible enchantresses or Eridian- enhanced humans.

Borderlands 4’s villain may be someone suckers have formerly encountered. The enigmatic Watcher from Borderlands ThePre-Sequel has been a hanging plot thread for far too long. After saving Athena from prosecution, it heralded an impending war that would bear all the Vault nimrods to fight. important like the Watcher itself, this Vault Hunter war has not yet materialized, but Borderlands 4 might eventually get around to it.

The Watcher itself may or may not be the antagonist, but it seems veritably likely at this point that the villain is some flavor of Eridian. It would check the boxes Pitchford laid out Eridians at base position are formerly much stronger than humans, noway mind an Eridan heading up some kind of irruption force. And whatever alien imminence is hanging the Vault nimrods in Borderlands 4, it presumably has important further- reaching and darker intentions than Jack ever had.
