Switch 2 homeowners will not have lengthy to attend for Borderlands 4. On Tuesday, Gearbox founder and CEO Randy Pitchford mentioned it is going to arrive on October 3. Whereas some had frightened the sport could be pushed again to 2026, it is going to land on Nintendo’s console less than a month after different platforms.
Pitchford’s video begins with a sober construct towards what seems like dangerous information. Simply if you assume he is about to announce a delay, he turns into an excited 10-year-old, yelling concerning the recreation’s October launch date. “That date is October 3! It is October 3, you guys!! It isn’t subsequent yr; it isn’t even the vacation! It is a lot earlier than Christmas; it is a lot earlier than Thanksgiving! It is October 3, you guys!!!” Pitchford, who’s a magician on the side, clearly relished this.
Borderlands 4 is Gearbox’s first main launch since 2K Games bought the studio final yr. That adopted the epic, messy implosion of its former proprietor, Embracer Group.
Within the recreation, you may play as a vault dweller taking over the dreaded Timekeeper and his ruthless military. It is set on a brand new planet, Kairos. It additionally introduces new gameplay mechanics (a grappling hook!), seamless world transitions (no loading screens) and fluid co-op (asynchronous difficulty levels). Better of all, it won’t cost $80. Tone-deaf feedback Pitchford made in Might sparked hypothesis that the sport would possibly pull a Mario Kart World. (His magic failed him that day.)
The sport first launches on PC, PlayStation and Xbox on September 12. In contrast to these platforms, Borderlands 4 for Swap 2 is not but obtainable for pre-order.
