Borderlands 4 Release Date Announced

Gearbox has officially announced the much-anticipated release date for Borderlands 4. During the latest State of Play event, Gearbox's president, Randy Pitchford, revealed that fans can mark their calendars for September 23, 2025. To ramp up the excitement, Gearbox released a captivating new trailer that showcases some of the thrilling gameplay features set to debut in the game.

The trailer highlights a significant new feature: the grappling hook, which promises to add a fresh layer of excitement to the gameplay. But rest assured, fans of the series' signature blend of absurd weaponry, explosive action, and chaotic fun will find plenty to get excited about in the trailer.

To celebrate the announced release date, Gearbox has planned a special Borderlands 4-themed State of Play to premiere this spring. This event will offer an in-depth look at new gameplay mechanics and unveil even more of the game's arsenal of weapons.

While we eagerly await more detailed story insights for Borderlands 4, it's worth noting that the lead writer hinted that the previous installment might have leaned too heavily on "toilet humor." It remains to be seen whether Borderlands 4 will adopt a more serious tone or continue the franchise's tradition of humor.

Stay tuned for more updates on Borderlands 4 as we approach the special State of Play this spring. In the meantime, you can catch up on all the major announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play [ttpp].
