Gearbox Software has officially revealed that Borderlands 4 is slated for release in 2025. The announcement was made during the Gamescom Opening Night Live show, exciting fans who have eagerly awaited the next chapter in the popular looter shooter series. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Though details remain scarce, the reveal trailer left audiences intrigued with its mysterious tone. The accompanying description on YouTube provides a glimpse into what players can expect: “In this next installment of the definitive looter shooter, players will assume the role of a legendary Vault Hunter as they blast their way through hordes of enemies in search of new treasures to loot on an all-new planet.” This suggests that Borderlands 4 will stay true to the franchise’s roots, offering the action-packed, treasure-hunting gameplay that fans have come to love.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Borderlands movie’s disappointing reception, which struggled both critically and at the box office. The last main installment in the video game series, Borderlands 3, was released in September 2019, making the upcoming game a highly anticipated return to the beloved universe.
