For the first time in the Borderlands series, Borderlands 4 pivots away from Pandora and takes the action to an "all-new planet."
Yesterday's Borderlands 4 reveal trailer at the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase didn't really tell us a whole lot about the game. We saw some sort of planet with weird purple cracks hurtling through outer space, seemingly shattering the sky of another, second planet, and a classic 'psycho' helmet being picked up by an unseen figure.
So there we have it: Borderlands 4 is taking place on a brand new planet, for the very first time for a mainline game in the series. Borderlands 1 through 3, as well as Tales From the Borderlands, all took place on Pandora . The only Borderlands games that didn't were Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and New Tales From the Borderlands, but the former was very deliberately a spin-off game.
Right now, we know that Borderlands 4 is coming next year in 2025 for PC and current-gen consoles. The new announcement makes next year look incredibly busy for 2K - not only does it have Borderlands 4 on the cards, but it's also got Civilization 7 releasing on February 11 and Mafia: The Old Country arriving at some point later in the year.
