Borderlands 4 Announced, Coming in 2025

/

Announced during 2024 Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event, Borderlands 4 was unveiled with a short teaser for the next title in the looter shooter series. It will be released sometime in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.

“The team and I at Gearbox have a lot we’ve wanted to do with Borderlands since we first introduced the looter shooter genre to the world with our original game,” said Randy Pitchford, founder and President of the Gearbox Entertainment Company in a press release published by 2K.

“All of us at Gearbox have massive ambitions for Borderlands 4 and are putting everything we have into making everything we love about Borderlands better than ever before while taking the game to new levels in exciting new directions.”

The teaser doesn’t show much but we can expect a sequel filled with crazy guns to loot with at least up to four characters with their unique set of skills and perks.

The Borderlands franchise has sold-in more than 87 million copies to-date as the last title set in the Borderlands universe was a spin-off title called Tiny Tina’s Wonderland which was released back in 2022. The last mainline entry was Borderlands 3 back in 2019.

This reveal comes after the release of the Borderlands live-action movie, which isn’t doing so well with critics as it sits at a 10% critics rating in Rotten Tomatoes and an audience score of 53%. It isn’t also doing well financially as it’s already considered a movie bust with just 18.6 million earned during its first weekend worldwide. The movie had a budget of 110-120 million.

Because of this, Borderlands is already hitting streaming platforms as WhentoStream revealed that the movie already has a digital streaming date of August 30, weeks after it was released in theatres.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
