Borderlands 4, the latest installment in Gearbox Software's cult shooter series, is set to be released on September 12, 2025, featuring the largest game world yet, a new planet, four new heroes, and a host of gameplay changes. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and later on the next generation of Nintendo Switch.
The events unfold on the planet Kairos, controlled by a dictator named Timekeeper, who manipulates the population through Bolts implants. Players will join the rebels in their fight against the new tyranny. The world is designed as a seamless environment without loading screens — players will be able to move between regions of the planet without pausing.
Borderlands 4 significantly updates the movement mechanics: double jump, gliding, climbing, grappling hook, and personal vehicles that can be summoned anywhere are added for the first time.
Key changes
The game supports:
There are individual difficulty levels for each player, loot sharing, and the ability to instantly teleport to other players in the session.
The game's writers have retained their trademark irony and satire, but the humor will be more situational and less caricatured. The themes of the new installment include dictatorship, cyber control, and ideological struggle. Familiar characters are expected to appear in the game, including Tiny Tina.
Borderlands 4 aims to be more than just a sequel, but a reboot of the series in a new technical and conceptual format. Players can expect a fresh dose of absurdity, combat madness, and galactic resistance in the most stylish form possible.
