Borderlands 4 Release Date Moved Up, State Of Play Coming Tomorrow

Gearbox has announced a change for Borderlands 4's release date. But it's not a delay. Instead, Borderlands 4 has shifted forward a few weeks and will now launch on September 12. It was previously set for release on September 23. A Sony State of Play broadcast dedicated to Borderlands 4 is coming tomorrow, April 30, at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.

In the State of Play, viewers can expect 20 minutes of "developer-guided gameplay, including missions, killer weapons, exciting Action Skills, new and returning characters, and more."

Borderlands 4's previous September 23 release date lined up with the launch-date for Bungie's Marathon, but the games will no longer release on the same day.

Borderlands 4 is in development for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch 2. It is a sequel to 2019's Borderlands 3.

That game was 2K's fastest-selling game of all time and has shipped more than 22 million copies. Borderlands 2, meanwhile, is 2K's best-selling game ever with more than 30 million units sold. In total, the Borderlands franchise has sold more than 91 million units.
