Gearbox has officially confirmed the release date for Borderlands 4.
At the new State of Play, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford announced that Borderlands 4 will be coming out on September 23, 2025. To celebrate, Gearbox shared a new trailer highlighting some of the new gameplay elements coming to the game.
The biggest new addition from the trailer appears to be the grappling hook. But fans of ridiculous guns and explosions and mayhem will find plenty to enjoy in the new trailer.
To commemorate the release date, Gearbox also announced that a special Borderlands 4-themed State of Play will premiere this spring. The Borderlands 4 State of Play will show off new gameplay and tons of more guns.
We’re still waiting for more story details on Borderlands 4, though we know that the lead writer suggested the last game might have relied too heavily on “toilet humor.” We’ll see if Borderlands 4 takes a more serious tone, though.
We’ll have more details for Borderlands 4 when the special State of Play premieres in the spring. Until then, check out all the big announcements from today’s PlayStation State of Play here.
