The world of science fiction has influenced the gaming world with its tropes in almost every category over the years; from technologically advanced laser guns in first-person shooters to The Sims 4's quirky adaptation of the Star Wars franchise in its Journey to Batuu expansion pack, and in recent years, planet exploration in particular seems to be taking on an expanded role in gaming. Now, Gearbox may have been ahead of the curve by spreading its wings from Pandora in Borderlands 3. As such, the Borderlands franchise appears perfectly positioned to take advantage of the current space race-esque trend, and there's no reason for Borderlands 4 not to shoot for more moons.
