2K Games has officially announced that Borderlands 4 is under development.
During Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, 2K Games and Gearbox Software confirmed that the next big title in the Border areas series will launch in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. You can also wishlist the game is now on Steam.
The short announcement trailer, which you can watch below, didn’t give much away, but it did more or less confirm that players will be heading to a mysterious planet that has apparently been struck by a disaster.
The final shot of the trailer also showed someone with a bionic arm holding the iconic Border areas Psycho mask, suggesting that the faction will be returning. It is currently unclear whether we will see the return of more familiar faces from the series.
“In this next installment of the ultimate looter-shooter, players will step into the shoes of a legendary Vault Hunter and battle their way through hordes of enemies in search of new treasures to plunder across a brand-new planet,” the trailer’s description reads.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford already hinted about the fourth installment before the game’s official announcement.
After the launch of the Border areas Last week’s film, which was poorly received after debuting with a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score, Pitchford attempted to deflect the negative attention from the film by teasing the studio’s next project (via GamesRadar).
This is when the CEO first hinted at the now confirmed Borderlands 4saying on X/Twitter“We’re working extra hard for you on what’s next…”
