Gearbox has officially announced the much-anticipated release date for *Borderlands 4*. During the latest State of Play, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford revealed that fans can mark their calendars for September 23, 2025. To ramp up the excitement, Gearbox released a fresh trailer showcasing some of the thrilling new gameplay features that await players.
The trailer spotlighted a significant new addition: the grappling hook, which promises to revolutionize gameplay. Yet, for those who crave the signature Borderlands experience of wild guns, explosive action, and pure chaos, the trailer delivers plenty to get excited about.
In celebration of the release date announcement, Gearbox has also planned a special *Borderlands 4*-themed State of Play set to premiere this spring. This event will offer an in-depth look at new gameplay mechanics and introduce even more of the game's iconic weaponry.
While we eagerly await further details on the storyline, it's worth noting that the lead writer hinted at a potential shift away from the heavy reliance on "toilet humor" seen in previous entries. Whether *Borderlands 4* will adopt a more serious tone remains to be seen.
Stay tuned for more updates on *Borderlands 4* as we approach the special State of Play in the spring. In the meantime, don't miss out on all the major announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play, which you can explore here.
