Borderlands 4 Set for 2025 Release: Here’s the First Trailer
The Borderlands series has always been a favorite among players with its outrageous humor, unique art style, and chaotic action. This new game promises to maintain these beloved features while taking players on new adventures. In Borderlands 4, players will once again take on the role of a Vault Hunter in pursuit of mysterious alien treasures. However, this time, the game’s story and world appear to be much deeper and more complex.
The trailer showcases the game’s graphics and art style, reflecting the striking visuals and chaotic atmosphere familiar from previous entries in the series. Yet, with an enhanced game engine, Borderlands 4 is set to be more vibrant and detailed than ever before.
The announcement of Borderlands 4 comes on the heels of Take-Two Interactive’s acquisition of Gearbox for $460 million from Embracer Group. Gearbox revealed that they were working on six new projects as part of this acquisition, with Borderlands 4 being the first to complete development among them.
This new game is poised to attract not only long-time fans of the series but also new players. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, mentioned that while the acquisition has not yet had a significant financial impact, it is expected to become highly profitable with Gearbox’s future projects. It is already clear that Borderlands 4 will play a significant role among these projects.
While waiting until 2025 might be challenging, the innovations and features that Borderlands 4 promises make the wait worthwhile. What do you think about this new game?
