Borderlands 4 went from being a title that left fans hesitant to one of the most anticipated games in the Borderlands series. We’ve now learned some of the series’ hardest-ever bosses are being teased for Borderlands 4, and you can take it from Randy Pitchford himself.
Randy’s been in the headlines a lot lately. First, he asked “real fans” to pay $80 for Borderlands 4, then acknowledged the general frustration with the cost of gaming in 2025. However, recent trailers and gameplay footage have the sequel on an upward trend of momentum.
We think it looks boss, literally.

I think it’s fair to say Borderlands bosses don’t have a reputation for being too easy! I don’t know who’s asking for tougher battles, but they seem to be getting it.
You can ask Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, who replied to the official Borderlands social media post: “Actually…I can think of some bosses who go harder. Inceptus is pretty hard, though.”
