Borderlands 4 Launches September 12, 2025 With New World & Chaos

Borderlands 4: New Planet, New Vault Hunters, Same Explosive Mayhem

Borderlands 4 officially arrives on September 12, 2025, pushing the series into its most ambitious chapter yet. Announced with a slight bump in its release date, the game returns nearly 16 years after the original Borderlands launched in 2009—building on a legacy that includes Borderlands 2 (2012) and Borderlands 3 (2019).

In this high-octane sequel, Gearbox transports players to Kairos, a brand-new planet controlled by a powerful tyrant known as the Timekeeper. With his grip tightening over society, a devastating catastrophe unravels the illusion of control, throwing the world into chaos.
