Gearbox has officially unveiled the much-anticipated release date for Borderlands 4. During the latest State of Play event, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford excitedly announced that fans can mark their calendars for September 23, 2025. To ramp up the excitement, Gearbox released a captivating new trailer that showcases some of the innovative gameplay features set to debut in the game.
The trailer teases a significant new addition: the grappling hook, which promises to enhance the dynamic gameplay experience. Yet, true to the spirit of the series, the trailer also flaunts an array of over-the-top guns, explosive action, and the chaotic mayhem that fans have come to love and expect from the Borderlands franchise.
In celebration of the release date announcement, Gearbox has also scheduled a special Borderlands 4-themed State of Play event to premiere this spring. This upcoming showcase will delve deeper into the new gameplay mechanics and, of course, introduce even more of the signature weaponry that the series is renowned for.
While we eagerly await more narrative details about Borderlands 4, it's worth noting that the lead writer hinted at possibly dialing back on the "toilet humor" that characterized previous entries. It remains to be seen whether Borderlands 4 will adopt a more serious tone or maintain its irreverent charm.
Stay tuned for more updates on Borderlands 4 as we approach the special State of Play event this spring. In the meantime, you can catch up on all the major announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play [ttpp].
