Rumors of Borderlands 4 being in development have sprung up again, as an actor listed working on the game in their online resume. While that credit has been deleted, actor Angie Jho Lee caught the attention of Borderlands fans (via Reddit) with a “Voice Over” section on her CV that listed Borderlands 4 and her role as “Aiyumi” in that rumored game. However, it turns out that this was a misunderstanding regarding the name of a future Borderlands project, and one that is not actually Borderlands 4.
“Actor Angie Jho Lee is a voice actor on Genvid Entertainment’s upcoming interactive streaming series, Borderlands EchoVision Live, which was announced at San Diego Comic-Con last month,” a spokesperson for Genvid told GameSpot. “While the series takes place within the Borderlands universe and is made in partnership with Gearbox Entertainment, it is not a Borderlands game. We reached out to Angie and asked her to make this change on her personal account to reflect the accurate role with the interactive series. More information on Borderlands EchoVision Live can be found in this press release as well as its official website here.”
In another deleted listing, producer Nadia Danova also mentioned having worked on Borderlands 4 on their LinkedIn ahead of a 2023 release for the game, although it’s worth noting that this was two years ago when they were employed at developer MoGi Group back in 2021.
Back in 2021, Gearbox co-founder and boss Randy Pitchford began asking online for skilled developers to join the company for a Borderlands-related job. “We are definitely working on some amazing stuff that, I hope, will surprise and delight you,” Pitchford tweeted. “If anyone out there has Skills-To-Pay-Bills and wants to get in on some Borderlands action, we’re working on the big one.”
The Borderlands franchise has been quite active since Gearbox was acquired by Embracer Entertainment in 2021, the same year Borderlands 4 rumors started surfacing. Since then, a number of Borderlands-related projects have been published. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands arrived in 2022 and put a fantasy spin on the Borderlands formula, New Tales from the Borderlands was released that same year, and The Borderlands Compilation: Pandora’s Box was recently rated by the Film and Publication Board of South Africa.
Borderlands EchoVision Live, an interactive streaming series, was revealed in July, and the live-action Borderlands feature film that has been in development for years has been described as “wacky” by star Jamie Lee Curtis.
