Borderlands 4 Revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live

As a long-time fan who’s spent countless hours looting, shooting, and laughing my way through the vibrant, chaotic world of Pandora, I can hardly contain my excitement for the official reveal of Borderlands 4 at Gamescom Opening Night Live! The teaser trailer was just enough to whet my appetite, leaving me craving more information about this upcoming adventure.


Following the release of the “Borderlands” movie earlier this year, there have been widespread speculations that Gearbox Studios might announce “Borderlands 4” by the end of the year. These rumors intensified when the film didn’t meet its box office targets. Given the underperformance of the movie, the developers have been subtly suggesting a potential announcement more frequently. During today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, which was filled with new game unveilings and trailers, it wasn’t unexpected that “Borderlands 4” would be officially revealed at the event. The brief teaser trailer doesn’t reveal much, but it’s more than enough to excite long-term fans of the series about what’s in store for the future.

Once more, there wasn’t a significant unveiling regarding Borderlands 4. This initial glimpse offers a new entry in the extended series, implying that Gearbox may release further trailers and detailed analyses as the launch date approaches. Regardless, it seems that not much is altering fundamentally. Gamers will continue to select from various character classes and employ them in Borderlands’ signature first-person shooter battles, all while scouring for a variety of loot.

As you’d expect, Gearbox isn’t revealing too much at this point. The short teaser shows what looks like an asteroid colliding with a planet. However, this asteroid is seemingly infected with Eridium, one of the elements featured prominently in the series as currency players can use to grab upgrades. When the two celestial bodies collide, meteorites start to hit the planet. In one of the craters left by a meteor, someone picks up a mask that’s revealed to be the mask worn by the Psychos in Borderlands. Outside of that, there’s not much to this reveal. A Steam page has gone up so players can wishlist the game, but that also doesn’t hold much, simply saying that the game is launching in 2025.

It’s no wonder Gearbox is being secretive about the details. They plan to release several trailers leading up to the game’s release, which is scheduled for 2025. This approach seems effective at rekindling excitement among fans who have been yearning for more of the Borderlands universe since the film came out. The upcoming Borderlands 4 will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
