2K Games and Gearbox Software are working on the most ambitious Borderlands game yet with Borderlands 4.
As we previously reported, 2K and Gearbox Software have released a first look at Borderlands 4 and have now presented new details about one of the most anticipated games of 2025.
A new trailer was unveiled at the Game Awards, introducing The Timekeeper – a ruthless dictator who rules the masses from above. A world-changing cataclysm threatens to destroy his perfect order and unleash chaos on Kairos, the most dangerous planet yet in the Borderlands universe.
Borderlands 4 is the most ambitious game in the series yet, lovingly hand-crafted by the studio that founded the looter-shooter genre. The title evolves the series' gameplay and storytelling in entirely new ways, while delivering the signature Borderlands experience that fans know and love.
This includes:
- Intense action, tough exterminators and billions of wild and deadly weapons on an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant.
- The deepest and most diverse Vault Hunter skill trees ever in a Borderlands game, and an unprecedented opportunity to express your playstyle. Combined with the largest loot hunt yet, players will receive all the tools they need to develop their perfect build.
- Seamless travel between different zones and a more dynamic world with events and discoverable side missions that reward and encourage exploration.
- New movement mechanics improve exploration and the search for loot and bring new dimensions to combat. A vehicle that can be summoned from almost anywhere ensures trips in style through Cairo's stunning landscapes.
- Players can plunge into a massive sci-fi adventure, alone or in co-op with up to three other players, full of free-for-all battles, gripping boss fights, infinitely varied loot, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters, both new and old.
The Borderlands franchise has sold more than 87 million units to date and has been acclaimed by both critics and fans.
With unforgettable characters, deep world-building, and more unique weapons than you can count, the series has established itself as an absolute must-play.
“Borderlands 4 is about freedom and being a badass,” said Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford.
“This is by far the biggest, craziest world we've ever created – packed with nasty monsters and the most insane weapons and loot ever seen in a game. Oh yes, and the story is awesome too!”
Borderlands 4 will be released in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
