Borderlands 4 has been officially announced with a release date set for September 23, 2025.

Gearbox executives Randy Pitchford and Varnell hinted at a special showcase for the game coming this spring, promising plenty of entertaining content. The announcement comes in the wake of the poorly received Borderlands movie, as 2K hopes to restore the franchise’s reputation following that cinematic misstep.

When is the release date for Borderlands 4?

Borderlands 4 is set to be released on September 23, 2025, and will be featured in its own special PlayStation State of Play showcase this spring.

Borderlands is a well-known action role-playing shooter franchise that has captivated players since its first installment released in 2009. Known for its distinctive cel-shaded art style, hilarious writing, and co-op gameplay, the series continues to grow with each new title. The previous main installment, Borderlands 3, launched in 2019, and a spin-off titled Tiny Tina's Wonderlands received positive reviews, maintaining interest in the franchise. After the lackluster reception of the Borderlands movie, fans are eager to see if Borderlands 4 can restore and elevate the franchise's legacy.
