by

Summary

  • Some Borderlands 4 fans can play the game early at the Borderlands Fan Fest on June 21.
  • Gearbox aims for Borderlands 4 to improve on gameplay with a stronger story and writing.

As a thrilled gamer, I’m excited to share that Gearbox Software has unveiled a unique opportunity for Borderlands 4 enthusiasts like me! Instead of waiting until September 12, 2025, some fortunate gamers will get the chance to dive into the game way before its official release. Can you believe it? I can hardly contain my excitement!

Six long years have passed since the last major game in the Borderlands franchise, and fans have eagerly anticipated the next installment. Released in 2019, Borderlands 3 encountered a mixed response from critics, with concerns raised about its lackluster narrative and dialogue. However, when it came to gameplay, Borderlands 3 outshone its predecessors, elevating the looter shooter genre to unprecedented heights. Here’s hoping that Borderlands 4 will build on these improvements, offering a more compelling story and superior writing in its sequel.

At X’s latest post, Gearbox Software announced that participants at the forthcoming Borderlands Fan Fest, scheduled for June 21st in Downtown Los Angeles, will have an exclusive opportunity to play a preview of Borderlands 4. This implies that attendees will get a chance to explore the upcoming title in the Borderlands franchise nearly three months before its official launch. The post also hinted at the availability of tickets for the event soon, without specifying an exact date. Fans eager to attend should stay tuned to the official Borderlands social media channels for updates on ticket sales in the near future.

Borderlands 4 Will Be Playable at Borderlands Fan Fest, Tickets Drop Soon

Past Borderlands Fan Fest gatherings have provided delightful experiences for fans. Last time around, the earlier Fan Fest showcased the first trailer for the critically maligned Borderlands movie, which came out towards the end of last year to much dismay. It’s reasonable to assume that fans are eagerly anticipating Borderlands 4 to surpass the quality of the Borderlands film when it drops later this year.

As the launch of Borderlands 4 approaches, Gearbox Software has been sharing sneak peeks of the game, giving fans a clearer picture of what to anticipate from this upcoming title. A recent in-depth look at Borderlands 4‘s gameplay left some fans questioning the user interface, while other aspects, such as the expanded skill trees, have already received positive feedback. Keep an eye out for more insights into the game as its release date on September 12 approaches.
