Borderlands 4 Heads to Consoles and PC this September
After the debut of a new Borderlands 4 trailer, fans found out they’ll unleash the chaos of this sci-fi title on September 23. As four new characters, you’ll be facing off against a new villain called the Timekeeper, who “dominates the masses from on high” as a dictator, according to theSteam page. A world-altering catastrophe is affecting his perfect order, causing havoc across the Timekeeper’s residents, afflicting conflict on our characters.
The trailer showcases a more dynamic movement system that lets us double-jump, glide, dodge, and grapple across the new scenery of Kairos. As always, we’ll be leveling up our skill trees and using action skills that will make our enemies pee themselves and run home to momma. Borderlands 4 also promises in aPlayStation Blogpost that we’ll be “blasting through enemies with an all-new arsenal of outrageous weaponry, now even more BAJILLIONER,” whatever that means.
The prior numbered entry Borderlands 3 has a strong 81 Top Critic rating onOpenCriticwith 78% of outlets recommending the game. “Despite issues with the narrative and the mountain of bugs and technical issues, Borderlands 3’s fun factor is still undeniable,” said our sister siteGameRant’s review. “The game is also one of the few large-scale, big budget adventures playable entirely in couch co-op that has released this entire console generation.” The inclusion of co-op in such a high-budget game is indeed a benefit for the Borderlands series that keeps players coming back for more.

“The story and missions never quite hit the same highs as the previous game, but the core gameplay loop is more than enough to suck you in,” saidour review for Borderlands 3. “Unfortunately, it’s hard to ignore the technical issues, which persist throughout the entire experience and hamper it.” The review also said that the game didn’t feel like a fresh sequel with new ideas. Hopefully,Borderlands 4can feel fresh enough to bring players back in with its new movement options.
