Borderlands 4: Release Date Revealed

Gearbox Unveils Borderlands 4 Release Date: September 23, 2025

Gearbox Software, during a recent State of Play presentation, officially confirmed the release date for the highly anticipated Borderlands 4. Gearbox president Randy Pitchford announced the game will launch on September 23, 2025. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing exciting gameplay features.

A standout feature revealed in the trailer is the inclusion of a grappling hook, adding a new dimension to traversal and combat. However, fans can rest assured that the signature over-the-top weaponry, explosive action, and chaotic mayhem synonymous with the Borderlands franchise remain central to the experience.

Further celebrating the upcoming release, Gearbox promised a dedicated Borderlands 4 State of Play showcase this spring. This special presentation will delve deeper into the gameplay mechanics and, of course, showcase a plethora of new weaponry.

While plot details remain scarce, hints suggest a potential shift in tone. The lead writer previously indicated that the previous installment may have over-relied on "toilet humor." Whether Borderlands 4 will adopt a more serious narrative remains to be seen.

More comprehensive details on Borderlands 4 are expected during the dedicated spring State of Play event. For now, you can find a roundup of all the major announcements from the recent PlayStation State of Play here.
