In a surprising turn of events following the State of Play announcement, Gearbox Entertainment CEO Randy Pitchford revealed via a video on X on April 29 that Borderlands 4 is advancing its launch date to September 12. Although he quickly deleted the video and followed up with a post admitting he shared the news prematurely, the excitement was palpable.

Pitchford's video highlighted the smooth progress of development, stating, "everything’s going kinda the best scenario," which has allowed them to move up the release date. Initially set for September 23, as announced in the February State of Play, the new launch date was confirmed by Borderlands 4's official X account, moving the game's release forward by two weeks.

The official post on X declared, "After careful consideration–along with A LOT of meetings, playtestings, and incredible development work–we have made the monumental decision to MOVE UP THE LAUNCH DATE OF BORDERLANDS 4 to SEPTEMBER 12."

Gearbox Software is committed to delivering what they claim will be the greatest Borderlands game to date. With the release date now closer than initially planned, fans can look forward to sooner-than-expected adventures on the new planet of Kairos.

Borderlands 4 is slated for release on September 12, 2025, across multiple platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our article below!
