Borderlands 4 Developers Explain Why They Ditched the Minimap

The developers of Borderlands 4 have explained their decision to abandon the addition of a mini-map to the game.

According to representatives of the Gearbox studio, the presence of this element would have had a detrimental effect on the atmosphere of the project. Instead of a map, the team added a compass to Borderlands 4, which will indicate the direction to the next point of interest. Thus, players will be able to discover many more interesting details while exploring the world than if they were moving around the locations, focusing on the map.

How well the creators of Borderlands 4 managed to implement their idea, we will find out at the release on September 12.
