May 9 is shaping up to be a monumental day for fans eagerly awaiting Borderlands 4, as Gearbox prepares to drop fresh insights into the cel-shaded looter shooter. The game will take center stage at PAX East, with the developers inviting players to tune into the official Gearbox Twitch channel tomorrow at 10 AM PT for an exclusive showcase. A "lengthy" Borderlands 4-focused segment is expected, likely revealing more about the game ahead of its fall release.

2025 is already a standout year for gaming, and with Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed, titles like Borderlands 4 have an even brighter spotlight. First teased last year, Borderlands 4 has been high on many gamers' wishlists, especially since the last installment turns six in 2025. Retaining its signature humor, outrageous weaponry, and vibrant art style, all signs point to Borderlands 4 delivering exactly what fans crave—and then some, with more details dropping this week.

Per the official Borderlands 4 website, the game will be a major highlight at PAX East. Fans can catch the Gearbox Main Theater Show on May 9 at 10 AM PT via the Gearbox Twitch channel, featuring an in-depth look at Borderlands 4. The presentation will include insights from Gearbox President Randy Pitchford, Global Creative Officer Andrew Reiner, Lead Game Designer Nick Thurston, Associate Director of Narrative April Johnson, and Associate Creative Director Gran Kao. Together, they’ll delve into Borderlands 4 and its exciting new features.

This event precedes Borderlands 4's first hands-on demo in June, further fueling anticipation for what’s poised to be one of 2025’s biggest releases. Major changes are already confirmed, including a revamped skill tree system and an even broader selection of weapons. Borderlands 4 will also introduce players to new characters, worlds, and enemies, continuing the legacy of its predecessors.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Borderlands 4's extended rollout is its confirmed availability on the Nintendo Switch 2. While previous Borderlands titles are already on the original Switch, Nintendo aims to make the Switch 2 a powerhouse for AAA games, with titles like Cyberpunk 2077 also confirmed. Borderlands 4 launches on September 12, 2025.
