Borderlands 4 Announced During Opening Night Live, Coming 2025

Borderlands 4 was revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live and will be releasing in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The announcement trailer doesn’t provide too many concrete details about the next entry in the series, but it does seem tied directly to the ending of Borderlands 3.

The trailer shows a large flying phoenix symbol, which is the symbol of the Fire Hawk, who is Lilith from the previous entries in the series. This same symbol appears at the end of Borderlands 3 as well, linking the two games directly. The rest of the trailer showed what appeared to be a moon cracking and dropping meteors on a nearby planet, with the destruction seemingly caused by the phoenix symbol. One of those meteors drops a psycho mask, which a mysterious character with robot hands picks up.

Spoilers for the end of Borderlands 3, which saw Lilith use her power as a Siren to stop Pandora’s moon from destroying the planet. Lilith succeeds, but she dies in the process. The moon cracking and dropping meteors on the planet in the Borderlands 4 trailer is seemingly from the same moment.

The exact release date for Borderlands 4 wasn’t revealed, but in a blog post it was confirmed that it would release during Take-Two’s fiscal year 2026. This means that the release range is sometime between April 2025 and December 2025. Gearbox’s last mainline entry in the series was Borderlands 3, which released in 2019. The most recent release was the spin-off game, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, which released in 2022.
