Borderlands 4 Release Date Announced

Gearbox has exciting news for fans of the Borderlands series: the much-anticipated Borderlands 4 is set to launch on September 23, 2025. This announcement was made by Gearbox president Randy Pitchford at the latest State of Play event. To mark this significant milestone, Gearbox unveiled an enticing new trailer that showcases some of the innovative gameplay features fans can expect in the upcoming title.

One of the standout additions revealed in the trailer is the grappling hook, which promises to add a new dimension to the game's already dynamic action. However, true to the spirit of Borderlands, the trailer also promises more of the series' signature elements—outrageous guns, explosive action, and sheer mayhem. Fans can dive into the trailer to get a glimpse of what's in store.

In addition to the game's release date, Gearbox announced a special Borderlands 4-themed State of Play event set to premiere this spring. This event will delve deeper into the new gameplay mechanics and introduce fans to an arsenal of even more guns. It's an event that no Borderlands enthusiast should miss.

While specific story details for Borderlands 4 remain under wraps, the lead writer has hinted at a possible shift away from the "toilet humor" that characterized previous entries. Whether Borderlands 4 will adopt a more serious tone is something we'll have to wait and see.

Stay tuned for further updates on Borderlands 4 as we approach the special State of Play this spring. In the meantime, you can catch up on all the major announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play [ttpp].
