Baldur’s Gate 3’s performances have been so stellar that they’ve sparked a wildfire of interaction between the talented voice actors and the avid community.
Borderlands 4 seemingly confirmed by voice actor and producer
11.08.2023 - 11:17 / gamesradar.com / Randy Pitchford
An actor has listed 'Borderlands 4' on their resume, while a producer has revealed the sequel was slated to launch this year.
The resume belongs to actor Angie Jho Lee, who Borderlands fans noted had quite the interesting entry in the 'Voice Over' section of her roles. Not only does Jho Lee outright list 'Borderlands 4' in that section, but she also reveals she's taking on the role of a character called "Aiyumi."
Jho Lee actually isn't the only creative to casually mention Borderlands 4 in their body of work. This LinkedIn page for producer Nadia Danova also mentions Borderlands 4 in her 'Experience' section, and also reveals that, when they were working at developer MoGi Group back in 2021, Borderlands 4 was apparently slated to launch in 2023.
However, Danova departed MoGi Group back in May 2021, meaning the information on her LinkedIn page about the developer's plans is effectively over two years out of date. Perhaps we shouldn't take this comment about Borderlands 4 releasing in 2023 as gospel, then.
These details would appear to confirm speculation from 2021 that Gearbox was working on Borderlands 4. At the time Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford shot down speculation that Gearbox was merely "co-developing" another Borderlands game, reassuring fans they were taking the lead on "the big one."
More: We are definitely working on some amazing stuff that, I hope, will surprise and delight you. Plug: 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 :) https://t.co/Pp5iTUBwAt https://t.co/ExjXEbU30RMay 6, 2021
It was admittedly hard not to look at Pitchford's comments as a direct hint about a new mainline Borderlands game at the time. Two years on from Pitchford's comments though, we might finally have unintended confirmation about Gearbox's next major project.
We've contacted Gearbox and publisher 2K for comment, and will update this article with any additional information.

It's-a not me: Voice actor of Mario retires after 27 years
Charles Martinet has been the voice of Nintendo's mascot Mario since 1996, but no more. Nintendo has announced that the actor is to step down from the role, and will instead act as a «Mario ambassador» in the future, which is all rather ceremonial and full of pomp for a gig that mainly involves shouting «wa-hoo!»

Mario Voice Actor Charles Martinet is Being Replaced, Super Mario Wonder Has Online Play
When Nintendo first dropped the trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder a number of sharp-eared fans noticed something a little different about the game – it sounded like someone else was voicing the game. But that must have been a mistake! Charles Martinet has reliably provided the voice for Mario (and Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and others) for years! Sure, Chris Pratt lent his pipes to the new movie, but Nintendo wouldn’t replace Charles in the actual games, right?

Starfield Launching Without DLSS or XeSS Seemingly Confirmed, PC/Xbox File Sizes are Huge
Will Starfield offer a full range of upscaling tech options at launch? Fans have rightfully been skeptical, as Bethesda has partnered with AMD on the game, but they also haven’t outright said they are only going to support FSR 2. Perhaps this is only a marketing partnership and Bethesda is going to sneakily add NVIDIA DLSS and Intel XeSS as well?
