Borderlands 3's last major update added a section in the main menu where players could activate any in-game season. This is great, because it doesn't require anyone at Gearbox to go and flip switches when the Halloween event should start, and it also meant players could enjoy that content at any time without stressing out about farming the Ultraviolet event within 2 weeks, or whatever.
I don't believe Wayfinder had anything for Halloween other than shop stuff, but the Xmas event had a lot of Skylight decorations, weather FX, and a seasonal dungeon and rewards that made it feel really special. I hope that stuff stays in the game, and being able to enable it myself without worrying about AS toggling it on would be terrific.
And of course if they added any seasons down the line that would be a great addition to the game and a great thing to toggle whenever. I know the topic of DLC is really sensitive and I hope this doesn't derail the post but I would buy high-quality DLC packs mapped to seasons like Halloween, a summer beach one, etc. These are staple events in MMOs, but when single/co-op RPGs lean into it (like Borderlands 2 and 3 did!) it's REALLY fun. Anyway that's my 2c, thanks AS.
