Borderlands 4’s Search for Lilith Could Introduce Several New Planets

gamerant.com:

Borderlands 3 kept its promise of taking players to different planets in their search for Vaults, and some memorable locations were explored. Promethea saw Borderlands players fighting through a gorgeous, advanced city, while Eden-6 offered gamers a chance to explore a jungle setting. While small, Athenas was gorgeous, and the Eridian homeworld of Nekrotafeyo felt as special as it should have.

Though there is a chance that the next Borderlands game sticks to this lineup of planets, as Pandora alone has provided plenty of content over the years, the addition of more planets through Borderlands 3’s DLC indicates that Gearbox has plans to continue expanding the series’ universe. As such, it would make sense if Borderlands 4 introduced even more areas to the mix as players progress through the story.

As revealed in the Director’s Cut DLC for Borderlands 3, Lilith is still alive, with the character seemingly lost in space somewhere. This is the biggest piece of evidence for more planets being introduced, as she likely would have been found quickly if she had gone off to Promethea, Eden-6, or the other planets that gamers visited in the third game.

The other interesting thing to keep in mind happens once players have seen Borderlands 3’s final cutscene and go to turn in the mission. A unique red chest is found in Lilith’s room, with Tannis saying that Lilith “had her own secrets” before she Phaseshifts the chest open. She also says that she has “no idea where” Lilith may have gotten it, indicating that this odd chest comes from a planet that players have not yet visited. With even the genius that is Tannis being confused by the weapon crate, it must be more than just some thowaway
