After the game’s release date was moved up, 2K and Gearbox Software shared a new gameplay deep dive for Borderlands 4.
In case you missed it, yes, the next Borderlands game’s launch was moved up by a few weeks. This is rather unexpected given that when most game release dates are moved, they’re usually moved to a later date.
Soon after the release date change was announced, PlayStation announced a State of Play stream dedicated to Borderlands 4. This State of Play gave us a deep dive into the game’s combat, co-op mechanics, and more.
For those who missed it, you can watch the 18-minute-long Borderlands 4 gameplay deep dive on the official Gearbox YouTube channel.
This deep dive featured plenty of action-packed gameplay footage, giving fans a nice taste of what to expect. Moreover, the showcase also gave us our first look at two of the four new Vault Hunters.
First is Vex the Siren, a Vault Hunter who can can empower herself or manifest deadly shades to fight alongside her. Then, there’s Rafa, an Exo-Soldier who wears an exo-suit capable of constructing an arsenal of weapons. As expected, each of the game’s playable Vault Hunters promise to offer a unique playstyle.
Borderlands 4 will be released on September 12, 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game will also be released on Nintendo Switch 2 later this year.
