Borderlands 4 Release Date Moved Up; State of Play Set for Tomorrow

Borderlands 4 is getting a State of Play presentation tomorrow, April 30. We also learned that the game’s September 23 release date has been moved forward by over a week. 

The Borderlands 4 State of Play airs at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET and will run for 20 minutes. The presentation will be hosted by Gearbox creative director Graeme Timmins and senior project producer Anthony Nicholson to provide a guided look at gameplay. Expect to see the game’s new weapons, returning characters, and Action Skills, among other features. 

The game’s launch date has been bumped up to September 12. The announcement was seemingly posted earlier than intended, with a video of Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford announcing the date that was quickly taken down before Gearbox officially revealed the news about an hour later. Regardless, it’s always nice to see a game arrive earlier than expected rather than being delayed.

Borderlands 4 was first revealed at Gamescom 2024. Set on the planet Kairos, players control four new Vault Hunters to hunt for riches while battling the planet’s tyrannical dictator, the Timekeeper. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch 2 version is slated to arrive sometime this year.
