So many things

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford is tweeting again, and this time, it's to tell us that there's plenty more to come in Borderlands 4 that we haven't seen yet.

We've all been chomping at the bit to learn as much as we can about the upcoming looter shooter, but don't worry, there will be more to come once we actually get our hands on the game.

The tweet they're replying to is one of Pitchford's remarks about coverage of Claptrap's volume slider, a new option coming to Borderlands 4 that you can use to shut the robot's trap if you find him too annoying.

Narrative director Sam Winkler says they "wrote some lines just for this feature, and it includes maybe the dumbest, most niche reference to a certain terrible accent in a certain classic immersive sim," so be sure to try it out when you play.

That's not all Pitchford has been asking on Twitter lately, either. Pitchford recently asked, "Would you pre-order Borderlands 4 on you [sic] favorite platform if you knew that would influence exclusivity decisions?" He claims "suits" are considering offering exclusives on Steam and the Epic Game Store, but only 2.7% of respondents claim they'd buy it on Epic's storefront. Ouch.
