Borderlands 4 PS5 Wants You to Keep Playing for Months After Release

Similar to many contemporary major launches, Borderlands 4 encourages players to continue their journey even after finishing the main storyline. This is achieved through significant expansions, seasonal events, and additional mission packs offering extra equipment.

Gearbox Software has revealed a timeline for upcoming content after the release on September 12th, 2025. The first major DLC, titled Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, is scheduled to debut in Q1 2026. Prior to that, there will be a seasonal mini-event and two Bounty Packs. These Bounty Packs offer new story missions, boss fights, cosmetic items, and equipment, suggesting they’ll provide significant updates between the larger expansions.

Here’s what the initial content roadmap looks like:

To immediately gain access to all the items listed (as they become available), you should consider purchasing the Super Deluxe Edition of Borderlands 4, which retails at £119.99 or $129.99. The regular Deluxe Edition, priced at £89.99 or $99.99, offers all content except for the large downloadable content found in the dark column.

If you’ve enjoyed any of Borderlands 3’s expansions, you can anticipate similar high-octane loot shooter gameplay, captivating narratives, and exciting new gear to gather in the Story Pack DLCs for Borderlands 4. As more Vault Hunters are a highly demanded feature among the community, we’re eager for you to encounter the new DLC characters joining the roster in Borderlands 4. Moreover, each of these DLC Vault Hunters will bring significant change, providing fresh opportunities and build strategies with their unique Action Skills and branching skill trees – much like those found in the main game Vault Hunters.

For those seeking regular updates, you can anticipate facing invincible bosses to prove your mettle, taking on weekly challenges, and a possibility of acquiring Pearlescent-tier equipment, which ranks higher than Legendary. This new gear type is expected to roll out in the first quarter of the next year.
