Borderlands is a popular first-person looter-shooter series developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. The game is known for its chaotic gun play, cel-shaded art style, unique humor, and co-op gameplay. You explore alien planets, complete missions, and collect an absurd number of randomized weapons as you battle enemies and uncover the mysteries of this unique world.
Borderlands 4 is the latest entry in the series and promises to take the chaos and loot to a whole new level! The game was supposed to release end of September, but it has been moved early! Here is everything you need to know!
Borderlands 4 Release Date Pushed Earlier
In a surprising move, Borderlands 4 will now officially release earlier than expected: on September 12, 2025. While delays are often the norm in the industry, this accelerated timeline has caught players off guard. Gearbox has issued an official statement about the change, explaining their confidence in the game’s current state and expectations for launch. You can read the official statement here:
This change may also be due to the release of GTA 6 which could interfere with Borderland’s success!
