This is not a drill – Borderlands 4's release date just got altered, but in the best way possible for fans. Gearbox's next instalment is now launching over a week earlier than previously announced.
As revealed in a video from Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford today (which was swiftly deleted, but is apparently being reposted soon), Borderlands 4 is now set to release on September 12 – a whole 11 days sooner than its old September 23 launch date.
Pitchford teases that "everything's going kinda the best-case scenario. The game is awesome, the team is cooking," hence why it'll end up being in our hands sooner than expected.

"This never happens you guys, this never happens! We're moving the launch date forward! You're gonna get Borderlands 4 earlier!" Pitchford continues.
"It's gonna be awesome, we show you more about the game than you've ever seen before. And we are pumped," Pitchford adds, asking fans to look to Sony and 2K's own channels for details. At the time of writing, nothing has been posted there just yet, but we'll be sure to keep an eye on things.
So, be honest, how many of you thought Pitchford's news was going to be a Borderlands 4 delay at first? Given that his tweet said that "we have to move the launch date," it wasn't looking too good at first, but this is certainly a welcome surprise.

I'm GamesRadar+'s Deputy News Editor, working alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming's news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
