The character goes almost completely unmentioned throughout the events of the game, though a tiny bit of backstory is given regarding the age of the character via the Eridian Writing Slabs that can be found around the map. Much like the popular Vault Hunter Athena, The Watcher plays no role in the story of the game and is not seen at all during the battles with the Calypsos. The powerful being is seen helping the antagonist of The Pre-Sequel, Colonel Zarpedon, though it is eventually revealed that the intentions of both characters were pure.Īs of now, no explanation has been given for where The Watcher was during the events of Borderlands 3. Further, The Watcher can seemingly see the future as well, warning of events that have yet to come to fruition. Often appearing out of nowhere, the alien can use telekinesis to completely stop bullets in their tracks. One of the Guardians, an ancient alien race first introduced in the original Borderlands game that protects the series’ coveted Vaults, The Watcher seems to have special abilities that no other Guardian has. Following players every step of the way throughout their journey on Elpis, The Watcher protected villains and intimidated heroes - but never actually harmed anyone within the game. The Watcher’s disappearance within Borderlands 3 truly makes no sense given how important the character seemed to be in The Pre-Sequel, as it served as an extremely interesting wild card throughout the game’s story. RELATED: Borderlands 3: What Happened to Axton and Salvador After BL2īefore getting into The Watcher’s Warning and what it could mean for the Borderlands universe going forward, some background on the character is necessary for anyone unfamiliar. For some reason, though, Gearbox has ignored this ending and The Watcher’s Warning entirely. The game’s conclusion, specifically, featured a thrilling teaser that set up a sequel that could change the Borderlands universe forever.
While The Pre-Sequel did not receive glowing reviews, as some of the changes made in the 2K Australia game left it feeling less polished and far clunkier than Borderlands 2, one thing that the game succeeded at was its story. However, even with all of this content, Borderlands 3 seems determined to avoid touching on a major cliffhanger from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. A second season pass full of Borderlands 3 content is on the way as well, opening up the possibility for even more stories to be told within the looter-shooter’s expansive universe.
The content released thus far has given fans plenty of new lore for the many characters integral to the story, with even minor members of the huge cast getting time to shine. Borderlands 3 has been out for over a year, bringing four full story expansions to the game along with numerous seasonal events.
