Gearbox Software has officially confirmed that Borderlands 4, the sequel to Borderlands 3, will launch on September 23, 2025. It was announced as part of Sony’s State of Play February event, providing major information about the next installment of the looter-shooter franchise.
Borderlands 4 Set for September 23, 2025, Release With New Vault Hunters, Enhanced Traversal, and Co-Op Gameplay
Taking place on the set of a previously unseen planet known as Kairos, Borderlands 4 consists of four brand-new Vault Hunters, who battle a corrupt dictator called the Timekeeper and the masses he controls. The game builds on the series’ signature chaotic combat with new traversal mechanics that make movement and gunplay feel more dynamic than ever.
A new gameplay trailer has just hit the internet, and it highlights some of these changes, including an overhauled arsenal of ridiculous weaponry and new movement ability options. Players can now do double jumps, gliding, dodging, fixed-point grappling, and more, making combat encounters more fluid and strategic. These mechanics are set to change the way combat works in the Borderlands universe.
As with previous entries, Borderlands 4 can be played solo or in groups of up to four online. There is also a Borderlands 4 State of Play event planned for Spring this year by Gearbox Software, which will dive deeper into all the mechanics of the game, its story, and world-building. For new arrivals or those just wishing to go back through the series, right now the Borderlands 3 and Borderlands 2 Steam bundles are being sold for massive discounts.
Borderlands 3 is listed at 90% off, while Borderlands 2 is available at 75% off, with both deals valid until February 20. With its expanded traversal system, an exciting new setting, and an all-new lineup of Vault Hunters, Borderlands 4 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated game releases of 2025. More details are expected in the coming months as Gearbox continues to unveil new gameplay features and content.
