Gearbox Software has revealed the release date for Borderlands 4. During a recent State of Play presentation, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford announced the game's launch on September 23rd, 2025. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing exciting gameplay features.

A standout feature in the trailer is the introduction of a grappling hook, adding a new dimension to exploration and combat. However, fans can rest assured that the signature over-the-top weaponry, explosions, and chaotic gameplay remain core elements of the Borderlands experience.

To further build anticipation, Gearbox also promised a dedicated Borderlands 4 State of Play showcase this spring. This upcoming presentation will delve deeper into the gameplay mechanics and, of course, unveil a plethora of new weaponry.

While narrative specifics remain under wraps, the lead writer has 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 details regarding Borderlands 4's story and features will be unveiled during the spring State of Play. For now, you can find a summary of all the major announcements from the recent PlayStation State of Play event elsewhere.
