Evaluation

Borderlands 4 launched on September 11, 2025 and has maintained a continuous, high-volume post-launch content schedule. Paid and free content has shipped in regular waves: Bounty Pack 2 (February 26, 2026), Story Pack 1 (March 26, 2026), a free Raid Boss update (May 28, 2026), Bounty Pack 3 and the free Takedown at Hadron Abyss (both June 25, 2026), and Bounty Pack 4 (July 30, 2026). As of August 20, 2026 — just eight days before today's assessment — Gearbox published a detailed DevCast announcement confirming that Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort (a new story campaign set on a lush jungle island), a brand-new sixth playable Vault Hunter named Loveless the Hacker, and Bounty Pack 5: Amara and the Vile Shadows will all go live on September 10, 2026 with the Version 1.10 update. Gearbox provided full pricing, loot lists, and gameplay details for all of this upcoming content. None of it has released yet — it is confirmed, fully detailed, and imminent.

About this game

Borderlands 4 brings intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons to an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant.

Crash into Kairos as one of four new Vault Hunters seeking wealth and glory. Wield powerful Action Skills, customize your build with deep skill trees, and dominate enemies with dynamic movement abilities.

Break free from the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high. Now a world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing Mayhem across the planet.

Become an unstoppable force of battle, blasting through enemies with an all-new arsenal of outrageous weaponry. Move across the Borderlands like never before—double jumping, gliding, dodging, grappling, and more—dealing death from every direction. Explode each encounter with devastating Action Skills that unleash your Vault Hunter's unique abilities. Craft your perfect build with branching skill trees and a deep, rewarding loot chase full of wild weapons and powerful gear.

Wreaking havoc across Kairos is awesome alone and even better with friends in 4-player online co-op.* Borderlands 4 is designed for co-op from the ground up; whether you're hunting for loot, tackling missions, or wandering freely, level scaling and individual difficulty keeps the party together and having fun.

Freely explore a vast and dangerous world rife with warring factions. Hop on your hover bike and ride through lush fields, towering peaks, and deadly deserts full of fearsome enemies, dynamic events, and engaging quests with unforgettable characters. Unite the people of Kairos and ignite a revolution, tackling this adventure however you see fit in a seamless Borderlands experience.
