Earlier at Gamescom 2024, 2K and Gearbox Software confirmed that Borderland 4, the next entry in the popular looter-shooter, is in the pipeline. As to when it is arriving, the game is slated for launch next year, assuming of course, there are no delays.
The teaser trailer for Borderlands 4 basically starts off with the planet that Lilith locked up with her Siren powers at the end of the main campaign of Borderlands 3, hurtling through space and breaking some sort of fabric of the game’s universe.
The ending of the trailer shows debris from the collision crashing directly into the surface of an unknown planet – presumably Pandora – and punctuated with the game’s iconic Psycho mask being picked up by what we can only assume is the hand of Eridian, the alien race that creates the vaults, which then shows its to the screen before revealing the game’s official title, along with its 2025 launch reveal.
“The team and I at Gearbox have a lot we’ve wanted to do with Borderlands since we first introduced the looter shooter genre to the world with our original game,” Randy Pitchford, founder and President of the Gearbox Entertainment Company, said. “All of us at Gearbox have massive ambitions for Borderlands 4 and are putting everything we have into making everything we love about Borderlands better than ever before while taking the game to new levels in exciting new directions.”
Beyond that, no further details or specifics for Borderlands 4 were given, not even whom the new Vault Hunters would be. But as with all previous Borderlands titles in the franchise, it’s almost a certainty that you’ll be seeing the playable characters from Borderlands 3 making an appearance, in one form or another.
Borderlands 4 will be making its way to both consoles and PC, the latter being available on both Epic Games Store and Steam.
