Summary
A bit of information coming from Take-Two Interactive appears to have narrowed down the release window forBorderlands 4. Fans are eagerly awaitingBorderlands 4, but weren’t previously given much to go on other than a general window of 2025.
Borderlands 4was officially revealed during The Game Awards 2024, with a video teasing the characters and story players will be meeting in the near future. While theBorderlandsseries has been popular for a long time, many took issue withBorderlands 3, with complaints ranging from performance problems at launch to the story and its characters, like Ava. However, anticipation forBorderlands 4seems to be high regardless.
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company ofBorderlands 4developer Gearbox Software, has released afinancial reportfor its second fiscal quarter of 2025. Due to the way fiscal years are calculated, this period ended on June 12, 2025. Within the report, Take-Two notes thatBorderlands 4will arrive during the company’s fiscal 2026 year. This would put its launch somewhere between Aug 01, 2025, to Jun 04, 2025. Narrowing this down with theBorderlands 4teaser trailer’s promise of 2025, that means players shouldn’t expectBorderlands 4anytime before April 2025, but no later than December.
Will Borderlands 4 Be Delayed?
At this point, it’s difficult to say ifBorderlands 4will launch in the first half of 2025. Take-Two Interactive likely doesn’t want any of its own games to hit the market in the same general window asGTA 6, which is also slated to release in 2025.Grand Theft Auto 6will almost certainly take over the lives and time of millions of gamers all over the world, which could hurtBorderlands 4sales if released too close together. However, industry insiders have speculated thatGTA 6could be delayedto as late as 2026, which would giveBorderlands 4a wider window to release under while still meeting its 2025 promise.
For now, the wisest course of action for fans is to not expectBorderlands 4before April 2025. With any luck, the time between then and now is sufficient for Gearbox to release a polished and fun looter shooter experience. Gamers are already intrigued byBorderlands 4’s new villain, new planet, and the promised return of some “familiar faces,” so the game is off to a good start in terms of hype. Whether it can deliver will become clear in time.
