Gearbox Unveils Borderlands 4 Release Date: September 23, 2025
Gearbox Software, during a recent State of Play presentation, officially announced that Borderlands 4 will launch on September 23, 2025. President Randy Pitchford made the announcement, accompanied by a new trailer showcasing exciting gameplay features.
A standout feature revealed in the trailer is the addition of a grappling hook, adding a new dimension to traversal and combat. However, fans can rest assured that the series' signature blend of over-the-top weaponry, explosive action, and chaotic mayhem remains firmly intact.
To further build anticipation, Gearbox promised a dedicated Borderlands 4 State of Play showcase this spring. This upcoming presentation will offer an extended look at gameplay and a deeper dive into the game's extensive arsenal of weaponry.
While narrative details remain scarce, the lead writer hinted at a potential shift away from the previous game's reliance on "toilet humor." Whether Borderlands 4 adopts a more mature tone remains to be seen.
Further information on Borderlands 4's story and features will be revealed during the spring State of Play. In the meantime, you can find a recap of all the major announcements from the recent PlayStation State of Play event elsewhere.
