Gearbox has revealed a new story trailer for its looter-shooter Borderlands 4. While it was brief, it did reveal a fresh look at the game’s primary villain, the Timekeeper, his minions, and franchise punching bag Claptrap.
Borderlands 4 launches on September 12 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S–with a Switch 2 version coming at a later date–and the base version of the game is priced at $70. With its launch date drawing closer, Gearbox has been revealing more details on the game, and how it’s building on the Borderlands foundation with a seamless world to explore, dynamic events to take part in, and an overhauled drop-rate for weapons that will make legendary-class feel special again.
Another big change in Borderlands 4 is its tone, as Gearbox wants the humor in the game to be more grounded. Essentially, this sounds like Borderlands 4 won’t be relying on comedy that can become very quickly dated after launch.
“This feels like a Borderlands game through and through where enough has changed for me to feel like this is an improvement over Borderlands 3, but it’s not so different that I can expect huge and sweeping changes,” Jordan Ramée said in GameSpot’s Borderlands 4 preview.
