Borderlands fans, rejoice. At The Game Awards 2024, the world witnessed the premiere of the trailer for Borderlands 4. Scheduled to hit shelves in 2025, the game promises an action-packed adventure on a deadly new planet, Kairos.
The trailer showed a new list of Vault Hunters, fighting their way across the treacherous landscapes of Kairos, full of monstrous creatures and powerful enemies. The Timekeeper is the dark lord in this world, commanding his army of synthetic soldiers, known as The Order. Against them are the Rippers, a chaotic horde of anarchy led by the dreadful Queen Callis, who took control after the cataclysmic events left the planet open.
Borderlands 4 promises to expand on the franchise’s core gameplay with innovative features from the creators of the looter-shooter genre. Gearbox promises “more loot than ever,” free-form combat, open-world exploration, and colossal boss battles. Iconic characters like Claptrap are sure to return, and some new faces will join them in the rich and eclectic narrative.
The game offers both local split-screen co-op for two players as well as online multiplayer options for up to four players, in a bid to deliver a flexible dynamic gaming experience. Using the franchise’s hallmark humor and billions of possible weapon combinations with chaotic gunplay is the way Borderlands 4 promises to provide the grand mayhem-filled adventure fans would love to wait for.
This is an exciting announcement for the franchise that, since Gamescom 2024, has been talking about this return. Despite fan demand, Gearbox does its utmost to create Borderlands the definitive experience the franchise could ever have wished for; the wait will pay off for sure. Get ready to leap into the mayhem when Borderlands 4 hits shelves in 2025!
