Author : Alexander Update:Jan 21,2025

Borderlands 4 Early Access Thrilled Cancer-Battling FanCaleb McAlpine, a devoted Borderlands fan facing a cancer diagnosis, recently lived out a dream: playing the upcoming Borderlands 4 thanks to the game's community and Gearbox Software. His inspiring story highlights the power of online connection and compassion.

Gearbox Grants a Fan's Wish

An Unforgettable Borderlands 4 Preview

Borderlands 4 Early Access: A Dream Come TrueCaleb McAlpine, a passionate Borderlands player battling cancer, received an extraordinary gift: early access to Borderlands 4. On November 26th, he recounted his experience on Reddit, detailing a first-class trip to Gearbox's studio, meetings with developers, and a hands-on preview of the highly anticipated game.

"We got to play what they have for Borderlands 4 so far, and it was amazing," Caleb shared, describing the experience as "awesome." His trip included a studio tour and meetings with key figures, including CEO Randy Pitchford.

Following his time at Gearbox, Caleb and a friend enjoyed a VIP tour of the Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star, home to the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters – another generous gesture adding to his incredible experience.

While Caleb remained tight-lipped about specific Borderlands 4 details, he emphasized the overwhelmingly positive impact of the event. He expressed deep gratitude to everyone who supported his request and offered him kindness during a difficult time.

A Community Rallies Behind a Fan

Caleb's Wish: A Long Shot That Paid OffOn October 24th, 2024, Caleb initially shared his heartfelt wish on Reddit. Facing a grim prognosis (7-12 months, potentially less than two years even with successful chemo), he hoped to experience Borderlands 4 before it was too late. His request, admittedly a "long shot," resonated deeply with the Borderlands community.

An outpouring of support followed, with many reaching out to Gearbox to advocate on Caleb's behalf. Randy Pitchford responded swiftly on Twitter (X), initiating contact with Caleb and pledging to explore options.

Within a month, Gearbox fulfilled Caleb's wish, granting him early access to the game ahead of its 2025 release.

A GoFundMe campaign established to aid Caleb in his fight against cancer has already surpassed its initial goal, currently exceeding $12,415 USD. The positive response to his Borderlands 4 experience has further amplified support for his cause.
