Borderlands 4 Release Window Narrowed Down

Key Takeaways

  • Borderlands 4 may be aiming for a Summer 2025 or early 2026 release.
  • Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn’t want to release the game too close to Grand Theft Auto 6.
  • Four new Vault Hunters will appear in Borderlands 4, which will also be set on an all-new planet.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the news about Borderlands 4 is music to my ears! After years of waiting and countless hours spent in the vibrant world of Pandora, it’s exciting to know that we might finally get our hands on a new adventure as early as Summer 2025 or early 2026.

Based on recent statements by Take-Two’s CEO, we can narrow down the potential release date for “Borderlands 4” to either Summer 2025 or early 2026. This exciting new installment was first unveiled during Gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2024, and it looks set to take players on a brand-new journey to an unexplored planet for a thrilling looter shooter experience.

Since the debut of the original Borderlands game in 2009, this popular franchise has continued to thrive, producing four main series installments, numerous spin-offs, a comic book series, a collection of novels, and even a physical card game. Despite the underwhelming performance of the live-action Borderlands movie at the box office, the games themselves have endured as cherished components of gaming culture. The latest main title in the series, Borderlands 3, has sold over 18 million copies and generated a total revenue exceeding $1 billion. As fans eagerly anticipate news about the next game, it seems that the wait for Borderlands 4 might be shorter than previously believed.

In an interview with Variety, the CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, has dropped some hints regarding the potential release date for Borderlands 4. With Grand Theft Auto 6 set to hit stores in Fall 2025, it seems wise not to release two major titles too closely. As Zelnick puts it, “We wouldn’t, and no one would, stack up huge releases unnecessarily.” If Take-Two aims to leave a gap of at least three months between these eagerly awaited releases, this suggests that Borderlands 4 could be arriving in the late spring or early summer of 2025, contingent upon its current stage of development.

Borderlands 4 May Be Targeting a Summer 2025 Release

It was earlier mentioned that Borderlands 4 would come out some time between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026. However, there’s a chance it may appear as early as the beginning of 2026, providing players ample opportunity to explore Grand Theft Auto 6 first before returning to the universe of Vault Hunters and chaos. While we don’t know exactly how far along Borderlands 4 is in development, if the team has been consistently working on it since the launch of Borderlands 3 in 2019, it might be ready for release sooner than expected.

There’s not much information available yet about what Borderlands 4 might offer. The teaser trailer didn’t reveal many details, but it has been confirmed that four new characters, known as Vault Hunters, will be introduced in the game. Adam May, the art director of the title, mentioned that Borderlands 4 may incorporate more vibrant colors and advanced technology, with concept art suggesting a fresh feel for the upcoming installment in the FPS series.
