Borderlands 4 Narrative Director Doesn’t Want Skibidi Or Hawk Tuah Jokes In Game

There may be toilets in Borderlands 4, however the game’s narrative director loathes the concept of this resulting in skibidi jokes. That is all a part of attempting to reduce on the “overabundance of bathroom humor” from Borderlands 3, in accordance with Sam Winkler.

Eurogamer noticed that the Borderlands 4 narrative director was discussing the tone of the upcoming game on X. Winkler replied to at least one query about how he was critical of Borderlands 3’s toilet humor after which voiced his thoughts on including recent web sensation jokes. “I’m not gonna say there isn’t any toilets, but when the word skibidi ships in the sport under my watch, I’m gonna cry real tears,” said Winkler. “[Forbes writer] Paul Tassi joked that we were gonna have a gun called Hawk 2A, and a fellow dev asked me if it was real, and I desired to put my hand down the sink grinder.”

At The Game Awards last week, Gearbox unveiled the primary gameplay trailer for the looter-shooter. Borderlands 4 will feature a seamless world and latest movement mechanics that can “make it hard for players to return,” in accordance with creative director Graeme Timmins.

Last month, a terminally ailing fan got to envision out Borderlands 4 early, courtesy of a wish fulfilled by Gearbox. Caleb McAlpine thought “it was awesome” and thanked everyone for making the experience a possibility.

Borderlands 4 is ready to launch next yr for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
