In a recent Nintendo Creator's Voice video, Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford ignited excitement for Borderlands 4's Switch 2 debut, calling the platform an "astonishing" fit for the game. The title, confirmed earlier this year, joins the Switch 2's lineup of high-profile releases, marking a pivotal moment for both the console and the beloved franchise.

Six years since the last installment, Borderlands 4 vows to deliver chaotic weapon variety (a series staple), witty storytelling, and gameplay innovations. Pitchford emphasized the Switch 2’s role in refining cooperative play, hinting at potential tweaks to the multiplayer experience.

Nintendo's Creator's Voice video spotlights Pitchford's enthusiasm for the Switch 2's capabilities. He notes how the console's design—particularly its multiplayer-friendly features—complements Borderlands 4's diverse class system, making co-op sessions seamless.

Pitchford lauded the Switch 2 as an "incredible machine," stating the team never felt constrained by its hardware. Enhanced specs and redesigned Joy-Cons allow the console to handle demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Borderlands 4, positioning Nintendo as a contender in high-performance handheld gaming.

Launching September 12, 2025, Borderlands 4 introduces revamped skill trees, new characters, and the franchise's trademark humor. PAX East reveals teased deeper gameplay mechanics, solidifying its status as one of 2025's most anticipated releases.
