Borderlands is back. Launching in September, Borderlands 4 is the latest entry in Gearbox Software and 2K’s incredibly popular looter shooter series.

The sequel follows Borderlands 3, which received mixed reviews from gamers and critics alike. It had far too much toilet humour, the main characters were divisive, and looting wasn't as rewarding because it was a bit too easy to get the good stuff quickly. But it appears the developers have taken this player feedback on board and made changes to the new game for the better.
