During PlayStation's latest State of Play, 2K and Gearbox Software finally gave us a proper eyeful of the chaotic action coming our way in Borderlands 4. Prepare your trigger fingers, because the next installment of the legendary looter-shooter franchise is officially launching on September 12, 2025. It’s heading to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for later in 2025.
The extended gameplay footage introduced two of the four brand-new Vault Hunters we'll be playing as. First up is Vex the Siren, who sounds like she can mess things up properly by empowering herself or summoning deadly shades to join the fray. Then there's Rafa the Exo-Soldier, a former Tediore trooper rocking an experimental suit that can digistruct weapons on the fly. Gearbox reckons the skill tree system is the most advanced yet in the series, letting you really tailor these unique playstyles.
