For nearly a handful of years, players of the beloved Borderlands series await a new game. While the wait for the third game inched close to a decade, the wait for the next installment appears to be a lot sooner. According to Randy Pitchford, a new game is likely to come to the IP. What’s more, it is reported the game has already entered active development for quite some time.

What’s not good is the current live-action film still in theaters. It is hard to miss any of the poor reception for the Hollywood blockbuster as movie goers and even fans of the series are left insulted with the state the movie was released in. Enough so that parent company CEO Strauss Zelnick asks fans to visit the theater and see it for themselves.

At Gamescom Opening Night Live, Gearbox Software & 2K revealed a teaser confirming Borderlands 4 is on the way. That also includes an 2025 release window. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“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. 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,” Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford says.

“We’re thrilled to be able to share with our fans that 2025 will mark a massive year for 2K and Gearbox Entertainment,” 2K core games senior vice president Catharina Lavers Mallet added. “The Borderlands series is one of 2K’s most successful franchises ever and is beloved by millions globally. We’re excited that our already close partnership and collaboration with the Gearbox team has grown even deeper, and we look forward to delivering best-in-class experiences for both longtime fans and new players alike.”
