Gearbox reveals Borderlands 4 at Gamescom, probably hoping to put the terrible movie behind it — here's the release date info

As a seasoned video game analyst with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Borderlands 4 fills me with a mix of anticipation and caution. Having witnessed the evolution of this franchise since its inception, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia at the prospect of returning to Pandora once again. However, the lessons learned from the less-than-stellar Borderlands movie have left me with a lingering concern about the direction this new installment might take.


Approximately five years following the debut of Borderlands 3 in 2019, developers Gearbox Software and publishers 2K Games unveiled Borderlands 4 during Gamescom 2024. This announcement was made in a captivating teaser trailer that kicked off the Opening Night Live show on Tuesday afternoon during the convention’s opening event.

As a tech-loving gamer, I’m thrilled to share that Borderlands 4 is on its way! Just like previous installments, it’ll be available on Xbox, Windows PC, and PlayStation platforms. More precisely, you can expect it on Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the PlayStation 5. The trailer hints at a tentative release window in 2025, but the exact date for next year’s launch remains undisclosed as of now.

You can add Borderlands 4 to your wishlist on its Steam store page, but keep in mind that the written description doesn’t offer much new information. The text reads: “The ultimate looter shooter arrives in 2025. Wishlist now,” hinting at the possibility of becoming a legendary Vault Hunter while hunting for hidden alien riches and blasting through everything in your path.

Essentially, it means there’s no new information about the renowned franchise. Following the catastrophic release of the Borderlands film, it’s understandable that both Gearbox and devoted fans are eager to move towards better prospects.
