Today, 2K and Gearbox Software released the first look at Borderlands 4 showcasing new
details from one of the most highly anticipated games coming in 2025. Revealed at The Game
Awards, a new trailer introduces The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the
masses from on high. A world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing
mayhem across Kairos, the most dangerous planet discovered so far in the Borderlands
universe.
Borderlands 4 is the most ambitious Borderlands to date, lovingly hand-crafted by the
development studio that first forged the looter shooter genre. The title evolves the series’
gameplay and storytelling in new ways while delivering on the quintessential Borderlands
experience fans know and love, including:
- Intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons on an all-
new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant. - The deepest and most diverse Vault Hunter skill trees of any Borderlands title yet, giving
players an unprecedented level of expression through their builds. Paired with the most
expansive loot chase yet, players will have all the tools they need to seek out and
perfect the build that best matches their style. - Players will be able to seamlessly travel between zones and become immersed in a
more dynamic world featuring events and discoverable side missions that encourage
and reward exploration. - New traversal mechanics add to the exploration for loot and add new dimensions to
combat. A vehicle that can be summoned almost anywhere will have players racing
across the beautiful vistas of Kairos in style. - Fight solo or in co-op with up to three other players in this immense sci-fi adventure,
packed with free-form combat and exploration, pulse-pounding boss fights, infinitely
varied loot drops, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters new and old.
“Borderlands 4 is about freedom and being badass,” said Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. “This
is by far the biggest and most insane world we’ve ever made – it’s overloaded with jerkface
ratnozzle scrote monsters that need to be put down with the most over-the-top hardcore nuts op
guns and loot in any game ever. Oh, and the story also seriously kicks ass!”
Borderlands 4 will launch in 2025 on PlayStation5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S and PC through
Steam and the Epic Games Store. It is available to wishlist now.
The Borderlands franchise has sold-in more than 87 million copies to-date, receiving critical
acclaim from reviewers and fans alike. With unforgettable characters, deep world building, and
more unique guns than can be counted, the franchise has cemented itself as a must-play series.
