2K and Gearbox Software have dropped the latest Official Character Short for Borderlands 4, this time focusing on Amon the Forgeknight. It is part of an ongoing series that introduces the four new Vault Hunters who will be wreaking havoc across Kairos.
Amon’s story is some brutal stuff. He was raised in a Vault monster-worshipping cult until the day the Vault was opened and the creature inside turned on everyone he loved. As the only survivor, he dedicated his life to tracking down and killing as many of these beasts as possible.
The new Character Short, titled “Demons,” follows Amon as he recounts a deadly encounter with a Vault–obsessed cult much like the one from his past. It offers a grim look at what fuels his relentless quest for vengeance. Amon, as they say, has seen some shit and likes Pistacio ice cream.

Borderlands 4 continues the series’ blend of over-the-top gunplay, chaotic co-op action, and irreverent humor, this time on the new planet of Kairos. Players will take control of four brand-new Vault Hunters, each with unique abilities and backstories. Expect an even bigger arsenal of procedurally generated weapons, more bizarre enemies, and the kind of ridiculous loot-chasing the franchise is known for, and what fans of the series look forward to.
Borderlands 4 launches worldwide on September 12, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Nintendo Switch 2 version arrives on October 3, 2025.
