"A Borderlands 4 dataminer has claimed that the game might have featured one of the franchise's most polarizing characters at one point in its development. Having dug through files for the game, EpicNNG uploaded their findings online. After spending a chunk of time on Kairos, players eventually run into the Siren Amara in Borderlands 4 as part of their quest to find the villainous Vile Lector."
""It would appear everything aside from references has been completely scrubbed, including audio files, models, and more," EpicNNG added, noting that this might have been an "intentional blunder" from a Gearbox employee, given just how difficult it is to pick through Borderlands 4 data for clues on post-release content. "This game is airtight on datamining," they explained. "Nothing pre-or post release is in the files as of now. More credibility to this being intentional[ly] left in by a dev.""
Files uncovered in Borderlands 4 suggest Ava was originally planned to appear and was later replaced by Amara late in development. Several files and "Ava" titles exist in the game's data, while audio, models, and other assets appear to have been removed. Amara uses powers similar to Ava's Siren abilities that were inherited from Maya. Ava debuted in Borderlands 3 and became a highly polarizing character due to her role and character arc. The deletions imply intentional removal, as the game's data is described as tightly locked against datamining and lacking pre- or post-release content references.
