📅 Borderlands 4 Release Date: September 12, 2025
Fans of the iconic looter-shooter franchise can finally celebrate — Borderlands 4 is officially launching on September 12, 2025, a surprising move that brings it 11 days earlier than originally planned. It’s not every day a AAA game launches ahead of schedule, and that alone shows just how confident Gearbox Software is about the upcoming title.
💬 “Borderlands is back, bigger and bolder than ever — and it’s not making us wait too long.”
🌌 Welcome to Kairos: A New Planet, A New Threat
Borderlands 4 takes the action off Pandora and onto a brand-new planet called Kairos. This time, players will go up against the Timekeeper, a powerful new villain leading a fanatical army known as The Order.
Expect plenty of new locations, factions, and of course — mountains of loot.
🚀 Gameplay Innovations: Seamless World, Vertical Movement & More
Borderlands 4 is leveling up more than just its story. For the first time in the franchise:
- 🧭 No loading screens between areas
- 🦘 Double jumps, gliding, and grappling hooks added to your movement arsenal
