The "diehard" player was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer The team behind Borderlands are doing everything in their power to show the upcoming Borderlands 4 to a terminally ill fan.

However, that might not be soon enough for one fan.
Earlier this week, Caleb McAlpine took to the Borderlands subreddit to try and get in contact with the developers after being diagnosed with “late stage four terminal cancer.” McAlpine has been given between seven and 12 months to live. “IF chemo works to slow the progression of the cancer, I still have less than two years,” he explained .
“So I am a die hard Borderlands fan and don’t know if I will be around for Borderlands 4 . Is there anyone that knows how to get in touch with gearbox to see if there is a way to play the game early? Long shot but I thought I would try.” Borderlands 4 arrives in 2025.
