Borderlands 4 reveals its first-look trailer at The Game Awards by none other than Randy Pitchford himself.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a standalone Borderlands game, with the recent offerings from Gearbox being Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and the Borderlands movie released this year. Well, never fear Borderlands fans, as Borderlands 4 is launching in 2025!

2K Games and Gearbox announces a new trailer in The Game Awards 2024 introducing The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator dominating the masses of the most dangerous planet in the Borderlands Universe, Kairos. The title evolves its gameplay and storytelling, making Borderlands 4 the most ambitious Borderlands game to date.

New features include:

• Intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons on an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant.

Paired with the most expansive loot chase yet, players will have all the tools they need to seek out and perfect the build that best matches their style.
