The Borderlands 4 teaser at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live was many things: a confirmation for a rumored sequel, a reveal unfortunately forced to follow in the immediate wake of the franchise’sbox-office fumble, and according to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, adevious brain-tickler.
There are several secrets in the teaser for Borderlands 4. Some I have not seen commented on yet. What have you found! pic.twitter.com/0206xwQqeFAugust 21, 2024

Some fans think that the teaser’s first secret happens just seconds into its runtime. As Twitter user@Primidianhighlighted, you can see something streaking towards and impacting Elpis’s surface moments after it emerges from the fiery wormhole. This could be Lilith herself, colliding with Elpis after launching at it with her Siren magic in Borderlands 3’s closing moments.

As for the glyphs,Redditor pskoughtthinks they’re functioning as a substitution cipher for the messages “HE IS WATCHING” and “BREAK FREE.” If that’s accurate, the first bit could be a reference toThe Watcher, a survivor of the mysterious Eridian precursor race who made an appearance in the Pre-Sequel but whose motives remain unclear. If The Watcher’s been manipulating events throughout the Borderlands games, maybe we’ll be “breaking free” from his machinations—or at least trying to before unleashing yet another alien horror.

What other secrets might the teaser hold? Can we puzzle out what the mysterious, cloaked planet is? Can we suss out what’s up with the robotic arm that plucks the bandit mask out of its crater? Perhaps, but only Pitchford knows for sure.
Borderlands 4is set to release in 2025.
