Borderlands® 4: A Mayhem-Fueled Epic Revealed at The Game Awards

Get ready for the most ambitious Borderlands game yet—coming in 2025!

Fans of the Borderlands franchise, rejoice! 2K and Gearbox Software have officially unveiled Borderlands® 4, treating audiences at The Game Awards to a high-octane first look at the next installment in the beloved looter-shooter series. Scheduled for release in 2025, this highly anticipated game promises to deliver the most expansive and ambitious Borderlands experience yet.

The Timekeeper and the Planet of Kairos

The reveal trailer introduced players to The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator whose obsession with Order dominates the new planet of Kairos. However, chaos is on the horizon as a world-altering catastrophe threatens his vision, setting the stage for classic Borderlands-style mayhem. Described as the “most dangerous planet” in the series so far, Kairos is brimming with danger, secrets, and opportunities for Vault Hunters to wreak havoc in their quest for loot.

What’s New in Borderlands 4?

Gearbox Software has taken everything fans love about the series and amplified it to a whole new level:

Deeper Vault Hunter Skill Trees

Borderlands 4 introduces the most intricate and diverse skill trees yet, allowing players unprecedented customization. Pair that with the largest loot pool in Borderlands history, and you’ll have all the tools needed to create a build that reflects your unique playstyle.

A Dynamic, Explorable World

Enhanced Traversal Mechanics

New traversal options—including vehicles summonable almost anywhere—expand the possibilities for exploration and combat, letting you race across Kairos’s breathtaking vistas in style.

Epic Co-op Gameplay

Whether solo or in co-op with up to three friends, Borderlands 4 promises pulse-pounding boss fights, free-form combat, and an unforgettable cast of new and returning characters.

A Message from Gearbox

Randy Pitchford, Gearbox Software’s boss, encapsulates the essence of the game:

“Borderlands 4 is about freedom and being badass. 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!”

Release Details and Availability

Borderlands 4 will launch in 2025 for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Fans can wishlist the game now to stay updated on the latest news.

The Legacy Continues

Death Note: Killer Within – A Thrilling New Gaming Experience

One of the standout highlights was getting hands-on with Death Note: Killer Within, a game adaptation of the iconic series.
