    We are only a couple of months out now from Borderlands 4’s September 12th release date, and lively Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has gone ahead and released the game’s map and the locations of over 200 collectibles on a post on his X account.

    The collectibles will be scattered across the map and will take some getting to nab them all, with Pitchford saying, “I had challenged Andrew Reiner, who some of you know spent nearly 30 years at Game Informer Magazine, to find those unreachable spots and, well, reach them. The goal was to discover all the places that we never expected players to visit and, well, visit them.”

    From there, Borderlands 4 designers were tasked with making these areas look great and then adding collectibles to them, to make it worthwhile for players who took the chance to visit them. We at The Escapist think that is pretty cool.

    Pitchford also took the opportunity to show off the map for Borderlands 4, too, a move which angered some fans who accused him of revealing too much of the game before its launch.

    Complaints flew in with fans asking why Pitchford had given away the locations of all 200 collectibles months before the game had even been released.

    Pitchford replied, “Quit clutching your pearls. Literally all the information will be instantly accessible with simple internet searches. If you want to enjoy the challenge, don’t look at or search for walkthroughs. Also, even with the map you’re looking for needles in haystacks. Good luck!”

    Pitchford’s gonna Pitchford. Borderlands 4 is set to be a huge success following on from the incredible games in the lineup previously, but more recently from the shocking movie.

  • The battle to play Borderlands Online continues, as dedicated archivists ask for help in pursuit of the long lost MMO

    The battle to play Borderlands Online continues, as dedicated archivists ask for help in pursuit of the long lost MMO


    The Borderlands Online archival saga continues, with the small group of people hoping to get the game playable putting out a call-to-action for those with coding experience (specifically with software like DNSpy and Unity Ripper) in order to break through the game’s character selection screen.

    Previously, we covered YouTuber, game designer, and dataminer EpicNNG managing to get to the game’s class selection screen, but it seems he and his small team working on the archival project have hit a brick wall. Not in terms of skill, but in terms of time. They have a version of the game at their finger tips, they just need more hands to get the build working. He states: “Number 1: We know that we have the full game, we have confirmed we have the full game. Number 2: We know that we can get in eventually, it is just a matter of when.”

    In this call-to-action, a lengthy video detailing the journey so far, EpicNNG showed the perilous task as his small team went through old Chinese Borderlands Online websites in the search for a way to actually play the game. Doing so, they found ghost links and viruses, so it’s worth emphasising here that you should only really help out with this effort if you know what you’re doing.

    The video is covered in statements making it clear that this is purely for archival purposes, and that he nor his team are looking to infringe on 2K’s intelectual property as to avoid the possibility of a cease and desist. However, it’s made equally clear that this project may be nearing a dead end thanks to the release of Borderlands 4 and the potential actions of 2K’s legal team, unless it gets more people on board to help. It’s worth noting that this article was only written following an exchange of DMs with EpicNNG, in which he stated that he understood the potential risks of this call-to-action being further publicised and was happy with it being covered nonetheless.

    In the video, EpicNNG acknowledges that time is of the essence here, pointing to Activision’s take down of the H2M Call of Duty mod in fears it would suck attention away from the next Call of Duty. The worry is that, unless the team gets the game working soon, 2K would fear a similar thing with Borderlands 4 and send out a Cease and Desist.

    This archival project, if successful, would be somewhat of a white whale for the video game archival scene. Not only is archiving any game difficult, Borderlands Online is a Chinese-only MMORPG that has been dead for years. Getting it working is an admirable goal. Here’s hoping that folks that can help see it and lend a hand before it’s too late. Though, if you’re a greenthumb when it comes to Unity or video game software in general, maybe it’s best to leave it with the experts and wish them luck.
