“Gearbox Celebrates the Holidays with Personalized Iron Skillets for Dev Team”
Borderlands 4 is anticipated to release in 2025, and one thing everyone seems to be aware of about this forthcoming looter shooter is that the developers at Gearbox are openly quite proud of their project. How proud? Proud enough to gift custom cast iron skillets as holiday presents, proclaiming “we really cooked.”
This sentiment was reinforced by senior writer Jordan Mychal Lemos – who previously contributed to Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and the KOTOR Remake before joining Gearbox – sharing a photo of that custom skillet on Twitter. In a follow-up tweet, Lemos clarified that it was an organizational Christmas present along with some sleek slate coasters.

I, for one, hope everyone at Gearbox enjoys the grandest cooking tool known to humanity—just don’t overwhelm yourself by reading too many tips on how to handle it on Reddit. Honestly, it isn’t all that complicated.
As for Borderlands 4 itself, all judgment regarding how well Gearbox cooked will be saved for the game’s release sometime in 2025. Exactly when in 2025 remains a mystery, but we understand it won’t be in the first quarter of the year and it won’t clash with GTA 6, which remains incredibly vague. Nonetheless, at least we know it’s less than twelve months away and some of those months are already out of the equation.
Our most substantial glimpse at Borderlands 4 thus far came courtesy of a trailer at The Game Awards, which quickly led to criticism from fans over the game’s “uninspired” Vault Hunters. Whether this kind of criticism is justified or merely a knee-jerk reaction to the trailer, Gearbox clearly has more work to do to convince fans that Borderlands 4 can live up to their expectations.
