Gearbox Unveils Borderlands 4 Release Date: September 23, 2025
Gearbox Software, during a recent State of Play presentation, officially announced that Borderlands 4 will launch on September 23, 2025. President Randy Pitchford made the announcement, accompanied by a new trailer showcasing exciting gameplay features.
A standout feature revealed in the trailer is the inclusion of a grappling hook, adding a new dimension to traversal and combat. However, the trailer also reassures fans that the series' signature over-the-top weaponry, explosive action, and chaotic mayhem remain core elements.
To further build anticipation, Gearbox promised a dedicated Borderlands 4 State of Play showcase this spring. This upcoming presentation will delve deeper into the gameplay mechanics and, of course, showcase a plethora of new weaponry.
While narrative specifics remain under wraps, hints suggest a potential shift away from the previous game's reliance on "toilet humor," as indicated by the lead writer. Whether Borderlands 4 adopts a more mature tone remains to be seen.
Further details regarding Borderlands 4's story and gameplay will be revealed during the spring's dedicated State of Play. In the meantime, you can find a roundup of all the major announcements from the recent PlayStation State of Play event elsewhere.
