Nearly five years after the release of the last mainline Borderlands entry, Borderlands 3, in 2019, developer Gearbox Software and publisher 2K Games have announced Borderlands 4 at Gamescom 2024. The reveal of the sequel came in a special teaser trailer shown at the start of the convention’s Opening Night Live show on Tuesday afternoon.
You can watch the trailer here or view it via the embed below. Notably, like every Borderlands installment before it, Borderlands 4 will release on Xbox, Windows PC, and PlayStation. Specifically, it’s coming to Xbox Series X|S and both Steam and the Epic Games Store, along with PlayStation 5. The trailer also highlights that it has a scheduled release window of 2025, though when specifically it’s coming next year is unknown at the time of writing.
Borderlands 4 can be wishlisted on its Steam store page now, though fans hopeful to learn more about it from its written description will be disappointed. “The definitive looter shooter arrives in 2025. Wishlist now,” it reads. “See if you have what it takes to go down in history as a legendary Vault Hunter as you search for secret alien treasure, blasting everything in sight.”
So, in other words, nothing that we didn’t already know about the popular franchise. Still, after the absolute disaster that was the recently released Borderlands movie, I’m sure both Gearbox and series superfans are glad to look ahead to greener pastures.
