Overview

  • Borderlands 4 will launch on September 12, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for later
  • The game’s seamless world on Kairos removes loading screens between regions and enables instant drop-in, drop-out co-op play
  • A modular Licensed Parts system lets players mix components from multiple manufacturers to craft unique weapon combinations
  • Traversal is expanded with double jump, gliding and grappling abilities alongside instant vehicle spawning for faster exploration
  • Healing now relies on active Repkits that grant random buffs and cooldowns, and humor is refocused on situational banter among Vault Hunters
