Borderlands 4was just revealed at theGamescom Opening Night Livepresentation, and it’s out next year.
In truth, we didn’t see a whole lot from the new Borderlands 4 trailer. We did see a planet with some very weird purple haze spreading across it, which we shortly found out wasn’t actually the usual Borderlands planet of Pandora, on which every mainline game in the Gearbox series has taken place to date.
What we did see, though, was the classic ‘psycho’ mask that’s adorned pretty much all the Borderlands box arts, with the exception of spin-off Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. So no, even though we didn’t glean a lot about Borderlands 4 from this trailer, we know that it’ll feature the same sort of enemies we’ve been used to gunning down.
Now sure, this didn’t leak, as host Geoff Keighley proudly stated to the Gamescom audience just before the trailer, but it definitely wasn’t an iron-clad secret either. Just earlier this year for example,Take-Two confirmed that Borderlands 4 was in the works, just one of “numerous projects” it planned to launch with Gearbox. While it didn’t leak, we did know it was in the works.
