Borderlands 4 is set to unveil new details during a PAX East showcase on May 9. Fans can catch the event live on the Gearbox Twitch channel, starting at 10:00 AM PT. This is a significant day for enthusiasts eagerly awaiting new information about the cel-shaded looter shooter, as the showcase will provide insights into new characters, expansive worlds, and enhanced weapon options. Expect a substantial segment dedicated to Borderlands 4, which will likely reveal even more about the game ahead of its anticipated release this fall.
The gaming landscape this year is notably exciting, especially following the delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 by a year, allowing titles like Borderlands 4 to take center stage. Teased last year, it’s high on many fans’ wish lists, particularly with the previous entry in the iconic series reaching its sixth anniversary in 2025. As always, Borderlands 4 promises the franchise’s signature humor, eclectic weaponry, and vibrant visuals, all while revealing fresh content during the upcoming showcase. Interestingly, according to the Creative Director, Borderlands 4 will not feature the return of Mayhem Modifiers.
Furthermore, the official Borderlands 4 website confirms that the game will be prominently highlighted at PAX East. Viewers can expect insights from key members of the Gearbox team, including President Randy Pitchford and other critical developers. This showcase aims to delve deeper into what Borderlands 4 has to offer. As excitement builds, fans can look forward to the game’s first hands-on event set for June.
The forthcoming release promises major changes, including an overhauled skill tree system and a broader array of weapons. Additionally, players will explore new characters, worlds, and enemies, continuing the legacy of the earlier games. Notably, Borderlands 4 will also be available on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting the system’s ambition to provide a competitive gaming experience. The game is scheduled for release on September 12, 2025.
