'Borderlands 4' shows off new planet Kairos in gameplay deep dive, and it's coming a week earlier than we expected (video)

Borderlands 4 is easily one of the biggest and hottest upcoming space games of 2025, and we've been dying to know more about what Gearbox has in store for us after three explosive but surface-level looks at the game. On April 30, publisher 2K and the devs blew the lid off the fourquel.

First things first: The main setting isn't Pandora anymore. Not after its moon, Elpis, was literally zipped away at the end of Borderlands 3 by the siren Lilith. The destination? The planet of Kairos, which we hadn't visited before and is run by The Timekeeper and his synthetic army. It's a bit of a space dictatorship that's gone on for quite a bit, so the people are rising up and rebelling after the cataclysmic event involving Elpis.
