Oh wow, so Gearbox Software had this sit-down chat at PAX East about Borderlands 4. They were totally fielding questions from fans, just throwing out all these nuggets after showing off a bunch of gameplay stuff exclusively for PlayStation’s State of Play showcase. It was kinda neat, actually.
So here’s the lowdown: You’ll be on this gnarly planet called Kairos. Play as one of four brand-new Vault Hunters. What are you up to? Pretty much tearing through the chaotic mess trying to hit it big in fame and fortune. And there’s this Timekeeper dude — think dictator with a serious grip on the place. But, uh-oh, there’s a looming disaster that might just trash his “perfect” world. Totally sounds like the recipe for some epic chaos.
You’re sorta like the spark in a powder keg, igniting rebellion. Think blasting through robot freaks and mad bandits, even gnarly creatures that just want you gone. You’ll be collecting weapons like there’s no tomorrow, and trust me, you’ll have some wicked Action Skills to cause all kinds of mayhem across Kairos. It’s like, weapons grand buffet 24/7, you know?
Oh, and it doesn’t matter if you’re flying solo or teaming up with three other players. The whole adventure promises free-form combat, epic boss showdowns, and loot drops that’ll keep you going back for more. Plus, you’ll meet this crazy mix of characters — both new faces and those you might recognize. Could be a riot, honestly.
Set to drop both physically and on the Nintendo eShop for Switch 2, mark your calendars for 2025. Feels like an eternity away but hey, gives us something to look forward to, right?
