When is the Borderlands 4 launch date? The Borderlands collection dates again to 2009, when the primary recreation was launched to PC and consoles. Over the past 15 years, the collection has change into so common that it was become a blockbuster film in 2024 and, whereas that may have been met with a moderately underwhelming reception, the franchise is ready to proceed with one other videogame entry.
Confirmed throughout Gamescom Opening Night time Dwell in August 2024, Borderlands 4 is already shaping as much as be one of many extra thrilling action-adventure recreation releases arising within the (probably) close to future. Within the meantime, we are able to extrapolate when the precise Borderlands 4 launch date may be, and what it may entail based mostly on the most recent tidbits of information.
Borderlands 4 launch date estimate
The Borderlands launch date is ready for someday in 2025, as confirmed within the official teaser trailer. Based mostly on earlier launch dates within the collection, we estimate Borderlands 4 will land in September or October 2025.
The unique launch dates for each Borderlands and Borderlands 3 have been in October, whereas the Borderlands 2 launch was in September. Naturally, provided that Borderlands 4 was solely introduced within the second half of 2024, we in all probability wouldn’t anticipate the sport to land in early 2025. It stands to purpose, then, that the most recent recreation within the collection would comply with the identical pattern as these earlier video games, and can see a launch date in September or October 2025.
Borderlands 4 will probably be launched on PC through Steam and Epic Video games Retailer, in addition to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Collection X|S.
Borderlands 4 trailers
The primary Borderlands 4 trailer, the official teaser, was proven at the beginning of Gamescom ONL on August 21, 2024. This trailer options no gameplay, and solely exhibits the planet Pandora, with its purple glowing ravines, transferring by means of area, and plummeting into one other, a lot bigger, planet.
The opposite most notable factor from the trailer is that we see the Firehawk sigil proper at the beginning of the clip, which means that the story unsurprisingly takes off the place Borderlands 3 completed – with the workforce trying up at a Firehawk-branded moon.
Additional into the trailer, a big meteorite from the collision falls to the bottom, and within the aftermath, a mechanical hand leans in to choose up a Psycho masks from the bottom because the brief trailer involves an finish. Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed that the vault image completely aligns on a face within the trailer, with the scarring on Good-looking Jack’s face – may this be a touch that the Borderlands collection isn’t completed with Good-looking Jack simply but?
The official first look trailer from The Recreation Awards 2024, in the meantime, highlights a serious battle between the bandits and the Order, led by the Timekeeper. Right here we’re launched to the 4 new Vault Hunters we’ll get to play as, sneak peeks at new locales, and a tidy little fight montage that’s synced completely to the banger that’s ‘Starburster’ by Fontaines D.C.
Borderlands 4 story
What the preliminary teaser trailer tells us concerning the Borderlands 4 story to date, as we talked about above, is that we take off sooner or later after the top of Borderlands 3, the place the present workforce of Vault Hunters and Crimson Raiders mourn the loss of life of 1 one among their allies (attempting to keep away from spoilers right here simply in case), as they give the impression of being upon the remnants of her sacrifice.
In case you are trying to play or replay Borderlands 3 earlier than the launch of the fourth recreation, we gained’t say an excessive amount of extra, however we’ll say that the workforce has been exploring Pandora and the Nice Vault situated there. Having discovered the Nice Vault earlier than the top of Borderlands 3, the workforce may go wherever from right here, however we’re positive we’ll see extra in the best way of trailers and teasers between now and the Borderlands 4 launch date.
The TGA trailer, in the meantime, introduces even larger stakes because the “oppressive” Timekeeper appears to dominate Pandora, reducing down something and anybody that stands of their approach. The trailer description alludes to a “world-altering disaster” getting in the best way of their designs, which can naturally change into our downside too (or so we are able to think about).
Whereas we look ahead to additional particulars on the Borderlands 4 launch date and the sport itself, check out all the upcoming video games we’re trying ahead to in 2024 and past.
