While the feature film Borderlands just came out and completely flopped at the box office, Gearbox Software chose to position itself at the opening of the gamescom Opening Night Live 2024 to reveal the next episode of the license. Well, contrary to what Geoff Keighley was able to state on the fact that he did not have leaked upstream, its existence was a real open secret since Randy Pitchford mentioned it half-heartedly and it was mentioned during the acquisition of the studio by Take-Two Interactive. Yes, Borderlands 4 is now official!
The cinematic teaser shows us the brand of Phoenix of Lilith appearing in space, beforeElpis don’t follow as if nothing had happened. At the end of Borderlands 3there Siren had sacrificed herself to save Pandorabut the exact nature of its action was not necessarily obvious. In fact, we thought then that the moon was still there, covered by this symbol like a protective veil serving to contain the impending catastrophe. We understand now that Lilith simply used his powers in the most classic way possible by teleporting ElpisThe question now is where?
You will notice that a slight trail is present next to the star before disappearing. Everything suggests that Lilith could have crashed on Elpis and if that’s the case, finding it in Borderlands 4 wouldn’t be surprising..
We then see This moon collides with a strange cosmic barrier, causing a planet to appear on the other side. Is it the result of advanced technology or Borderlands 4 Will he risk playing the multiverse card, alternative realities and other dimensions? This will cause debris to fall on what will surely be our new playground. Buildings with modern architecture, but apparently unknown to the license, are present. Finally, we see a bandit mask crashes (solid and sturdy!), which a mysterious robotic individual picks up. Could this be a Guardian ?
Finally, after the logo and release year appear, brief visual elements appear, namely a face with the logo of theArk then two texts which could be in eridian. A fan on Reddit substituted the characters and obtained as an intelligible message “He is watching” for the first and “Break free” for the second. In any case, our curiosity was piqued.
In this next installment of the ultimate looter shooter, players will take on the role of a legendary Vault Hunter as they fight their way through hordes of enemies in search of new treasures to plunder on an all-new planet.
Borderlands 4 is expected in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam And Epic Games Store). Yes, this time there will be no temporary exclusivity on the computer side of the platform.Epic. For the rest, we will have to wait until the next announcement. To wait, know that Borderlands 3in its basic version, is sold only €5.99 at Gamesplanet for a few days.
