The Borderlands 4 release date is finally upon us, and I'm stoked — here's exactly when you can play at launch time and enjoy "the return of the looter-shooter king"

It's been quite a long time since we've had a new mainline Borderlands game on our hands (2022's spinoff Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was a great time, though), as the last title, Borderlands 3, released six years ago in 2019. Very soon, though, that's going to change thanks to the imminent release of Gearbox Software's latest entry in the series: Borderlands 4.

Featuring four new Vault Hunter characters to play as, a new campaign set on the world of Kairos in which you'll fight to free the planet from its tyrannical ruler, the Timekeeper, "billions of weapons, deadly enemies, and intense co-op action," Borderlands 4 stands poised to become one of this year's grandest and best new games once it launches.
