Borderlands 4 will be blasting back onto the looter-shooter scene it helped popularize sometime in 2025. After a fairly lengthy hiatus, Gearbox Software recently officially confirmed the next title in the series, and provided some tantalizing looks at what's in store for fans when Borderlands 4's latest trailer dropped at The 2024 Game Awards. As the next generation entry, Borderlands 4 has some significant ground to cover in addressing some of the bigger mysteries and plot threads left open at the end of BL3. Based on what's been shown so far, it looks set up to do so through an intense and seemingly interdimensional conflict that will bring players to a new planet, among other details.
