During the Gamescom Opening Night Live presentation, Gearbox Software shocked fans by revealing Borderlands 4 trailersconfirming the release of a new entry in the popular looter shooter.
What happened in the Borderlands 4 trailer?
The trailer for the new game didn't boast much, but it opened with the Firehawk symbol appearing in space before a planet came into view. It then showed a meteor crashing to earth, and a robotic hand picking up the mask worn by the game's “psychopaths.”

Not much else is known about Borderlands 4 at this time. However, the trailer does set a release date of sometime in 2025, so fans should expect to see more sooner rather than later. Before Borderlands 4, the last entry in the FPS/RPG series was 2019's Borderlands 3, which released on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.
The Borderlands series began back in 2009 with the first game, and has since been heralded as one of the first successful games in the looter shooter genre. The game is also well known for its eccentric style and chaotic characters, including the popular Tiny Tina, who is getting her own spin-off game in 2022.
Beyond video games, the Borderlands franchise has also expanded into other media. Just last month, a film based on the game premiered in theaters. The film stars Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramirez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
