2K and Gearbox Software have released the first look at Borderlands® 4 at The Game Awards, showcasing new villains and themes. The trailer introduces The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from high. A world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing mayhem across Kairos, the most dangerous planet in the Borderlands universe. Borderlands 4 is the most ambitious Borderlands to date, handcrafted by the development studio that first forged the looter shooter genre.

The title evolves the series’ gameplay and storytelling in new ways while delivering the quintessential Borderlands experience fans know and love, including:

  • Intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons on an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant.
  • The most profound and most diverse Vault Hunter skill trees of any Borderlands title yet give players unprecedented expression through their builds. Paired with the most expansive loot chase yet, players will have all the tools they need to seek out and perfect the build that best matches their style.
  • Players can seamlessly travel between zones and become immersed in a more dynamic world featuring events and discoverable side missions that encourage and reward exploration.
  • New traversal mechanics add to the exploration for loot and add new dimensions to combat. A vehicle that can be summoned almost anywhere will have players racing across the beautiful vistas of Kairos in style.
  • Fight solo or in co-op with up to three other players in this immense sci-fi adventure, packed with free-form combat and exploration, pulse-pounding boss fights, infinitely varied loot drops, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters, new and old.

“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 nozzle-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 will launch in 2025 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It is available on the wishlist now.

The Borderlands franchise has sold over 87 million copies, receiving critical acclaim from reviewers and fans alike. With unforgettable characters, deep world-building, and more unique guns than can be counted, the franchise has cemented itself as a must-play series.
