Gearbox Unveils Borderlands 4 Release Date: September 23, 2025

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

A standout feature highlighted in the trailer is the inclusion of a grappling hook, adding a new dimension to the classic Borderlands gameplay. However, fans can rest assured that the signature over-the-top weaponry, explosive action, and chaotic mayhem remain core elements of the experience.

To further build anticipation, Gearbox also announced a dedicated Borderlands 4 State of Play showcase scheduled for this spring. This special presentation promises an in-depth look at additional gameplay mechanics and, of course, a plethora of new weaponry.

While specific story details remain under wraps, hints suggest a potential shift away from the previous game's reliance on "toilet humor," as indicated by the lead writer. Whether Borderlands 4 will adopt a more serious tone remains to be seen.

Further information on Borderlands 4's narrative and features will be revealed during the spring State of Play. Until then, you can find a recap of all the major announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play elsewhere.
