Gearbox has officially announced the much-anticipated release date for *Borderlands 4*. At the latest State of Play event, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford revealed that fans can mark their calendars for September 23, 2025. To ramp up the excitement, Gearbox treated fans to a new trailer that showcases some thrilling gameplay elements set to debut in the game.
The highlight from the trailer is undoubtedly the introduction of a grappling hook, promising to add a dynamic new layer to the game's exploration and combat. Of course, lovers of the series' signature over-the-top guns, explosions, and chaos will find plenty to get excited about in the new footage.
To further celebrate the upcoming release, Gearbox has scheduled a special *Borderlands 4*-themed State of Play for this spring. This event promises to unveil more gameplay and introduce fans to even more of the game's arsenal.
While we eagerly await more story details, it's worth noting that the lead writer hinted that the previous installment might have leaned too heavily on "toilet humor." It remains to be seen whether *Borderlands 4* will adopt a more serious tone or continue the franchise's tradition of humor.
Stay tuned for more updates on *Borderlands 4* as we approach the special State of Play this spring. In the meantime, you can catch up on all the major announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play [ttpp].
