Following a recent wave of Borderlands 4 previews, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has confirmed that one fan-requested feature will be in the game when it launches in September. While a mini-map won’t be in the looter-shooter, a radar will, making situational awareness of a battlefield much easier.
In a lengthy thread, Pitchford spoke about how fans had been asking Gearbox to add this feature to the game–many people from the European, US, and Asian preview tours were advocating for it, Pitchford said–and the studio managed to make this happen.
“As me and head of dev, Steve Jones–and some of the other guys–were poking around with producers trying to figure out what it would take to add these features and if we could make it in time to ship or not, something awesome happened,” Pitchford explained. “In classic Gearbox style, where we have an ethos of ‘they who builds it, wins,’ some developers got together and found some time in the margins of their schedules. Some Gearbox heroes did what Gearbox heroes do!”
