Borderlands 4's lead writer, Taylor Clark, has indicated that the upcoming game will feature a toned-down approach to humor compared to Borderlands 3. The feedback from players has been acknowledged, and the narrative direction is influenced by the totalitarian setting of the new planet, Kairos. Senior project producer Anthony Nicholson emphasized that while the game will maintain humor, it will be more grounded, focusing on situational comedy among characters. This shift reflects Gearbox's recognition of how humor should evolve in contemporary gaming.
Clark mentioned that the project's tone is shifting as they are aware of past criticisms and are creating a new world that fits the narrative context.
Nicholson explained that the approach to humor is evolving, focusing on situational comedy driven by Vault Hunters rather than pop culture references.
