In what could be either a high-profile typo or a significant hint on what's to come, a LinkedIn profile has indicated that the user played a part in the development of the next instalment in the Borderlands series, Borderlands 4. While there haven't been any recent updates on the game or an official release date, this small detail could spell something big in the near future.
No official word has come out about Borderlands 4 even being in development, but there have certainly been some evidence that work has been done behind closed doors on the project. Randy Pitchford of developers Gearbox Software announced in 2021 that they were working on "the big one" which many fans have speculated and hoped was in reference to Borderlands 4. With this new, albeit small, detail surfacing, it could be closer to completion and release than first thought.
A LinkedIn update may have revealed Borderlands 4
Take this info with a grain of salt, but nonetheless, the LinkedIn profile of Nicolas Rudowski shows the Environment Artist worked for Gearbox Entertainment from November of 2021 to April of 2023 with one game title listed under his tenure there - Borderlands 4.
Again, this could be a simple typo, but it seems the less likely scenario. Included in his employment history are other big titles, namely Cyberpunk 2077, including the Phantom Liberty expansion, so it wouldn't be off-brand to be involved in a product the size of Borderlands.
While this news doesn't shed any new light on the release date or even an announcement for Borderlands 4, it is certainly some food for thought for fans. If the Environment Artist for the game wrapped things up with Gearbox in April of this year, then the title could very well be near completion and ready for its adoring fans.
