Borderlands 4 will cut back on "toilet" jokes, Narrative Director Sam Winkler said on Twitter.
He said that the upcoming game is their "most ambitious game yet" and shared that he enjoys working with other game writers, calling them "the funniest people" he knows:
"Borderlands 4 is our most ambitious game yet. In service of that, I'm happy to say I've gotten to work with some of the funniest people I know as contract writers. I'll be retweeting them as they post about it (though not all may still on this site)."
When asked about the overall vibe of the upcoming game and whether it would be "dark" as the trailers suggest, Winkler responded that he can't reveal the content details but stayed firm in his disregard of humor in the previous game: "Not at liberty to talk much about the content of BL4, but I remain firm in my criticism of BL3's overabundance of toilet humor."
In a following tweet, Winkler confirmed his intention to spare the game of improper jokes: "If the word skibidi ships in the game under my watch I’m gonna cry real tears."
Borderlands 4 will be released in 2025 but not at the same time as the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, as Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously shared.
