In a fairly expected, but still exciting announcement, Randy Pitchford took to the stage during The Game Awards 2024 to showcase the first gameplay trailer for Borderlands 4.
Debuting what seems to be the main plot, Borderlands 4 introduces The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high. A world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing mayhem across Kairos, the most dangerous planet discovered so far in the Borderlands universe.
Borderlands 4 is the most ambitious Borderlands to date, lovingly hand-crafted by the development studio that first forged the looter shooter genre. The title evolves the series’ gameplay and storytelling in new ways while delivering on the quintessential Borderlands experience fans know and love.
“Borderlands 4 is about freedom and being badass,” said Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. “This is by far the biggest and most insane world we’ve ever made – it’s overloaded with jerkface ratnozzle scrote monsters that need to be put down with the most over-the-top hardcore nuts op guns and loot in any game ever. Oh, and the story also seriously kicks ass!”
Borderlands 4 is set to feature intense action, a cast of four new Vault Hunters, the deepest and most diverse Vault Hunter skill trees of any Borderlands title yet, new traversal mechanics add to the exploration for loot and add new dimensions to combat, as well as seamlessly travel between zones and an immersive more dynamic world featuring events and discoverable side missions that encourage and reward exploration.
Borderlands 4 will launch in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and it is available to wishlist now
