Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country Debut at Game Awards

Excitement is building for The Game Awards 2024 as 2K prepares to unveil two major titles: Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country. Fans are eagerly anticipating a first look at the "most ambitious Borderlands yet," according to Gearbox's Randy Pitchford. The reveal is set for December 12, while both games are expected to launch sometime in 2025, potentially facing competition from the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, slated for fall 2025. Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick reassured that the release dates of these titles will be strategically planned to avoid overlap.

No, according to Take-Two Interactive, there are plans in place to ensure that Borderlands 4 and Grand Theft Auto 6 do not release alongside one another to minimize competition.

Borderlands is a beloved franchise known for its unique blend of humor, chaotic shooters, and engaging loot mechanics. Since its debut in 2009, the series has kept players coming back with sequels and spin-offs, all while expanding on its post-apocalyptic, cel-shaded universe. The upcoming Borderlands 4 is poised to raise the stakes even higher, promising innovative gameplay and story elements that will attract both veteran fans and newcomers alike.
