There’s a new key visual for the game too (Gearbox)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gearbox has shared new dates for Borderlands<\/a> 4\u2019s launch and its own State of Play presentation, in a mighty suspicious calendar change.<\/p>\n

Too often do video games<\/a> get delayed that it\u2019s always a surprise when the opposite happens. In this instance, it\u2019s Borderlands 4.<\/p>\n

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford broke the news early by accident, in a video on X (which he subsequently deleted but has since reuploaded), but it wasn\u2019t long until a more official confirmation was made on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, a date for a new State of Play showcase focused only on Borderlands 4 (which was teased during the February presentation<\/a>) has been revealed, although new gameplay footage will be unveiled as early as this week.<\/p>\n

What is the Borderlands 4 release date?<\/h2>\n

Originally, Borderlands 4 was scheduled for September 23, but now it\u2019ll release a whole 11 days earlier on September 12<\/strong>, for Xbox Series X\/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.<\/p>\n

The reason for this, according to Pitchford, is because development has been progressing smoother than expected: \u2018Everything\u2019s going kinda the best case scenario, the game is awesome, the team is cooking, and so the launch date for Borderlands 4 is changing. We\u2019re moving it forward.\u2019<\/p>\n

You don’t need us to tell you that never usually happens and there’s no sensible reason why they’d suddenly change the release date, and all the existing plans for the game’s launch, for the sake of 11 days.<\/p>\n

Borderlands 4 is getting its own State of Play!Tune in for over 20 minutes of new weapons, abilities, missions, and more on April 30 at 2pm PT \/ 5pm ET \/ 11pm CEST. Full details: https:\/\/t.co\/p3gqsuR4xy<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/OSjeKkmmCg<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the State of Play, that will air on Wednesday, April 30 at 10pm BST, via the official PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll only last for 20 minutes or so, but the PlayStation Blog<\/a> promises a lot of new gameplay featuring \u2018missions, killer weapons, exciting Action Skills, new and returning characters, and more.\u2019<\/p>\n

Not only does Gearbox’s reason for the release date change make little sense but there’s a much more convincing explanation, and that’s that they’re trying to get out of the way of GTA 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since Rockstar Games<\/a> owner Take-Two Interactive is publishing both titles, it no doubt wants a healthy distance between Borderlands 4 and GTA 6, which still only has a vague autumn release window<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was a theory that GTA 6 would be out before Borderlands 4<\/a>, but that’s looking even less likely now that the latter\u2019s launching early. As a reminder, Mafia: The Old Country, another Take-Two game, is aiming for August 8 according to a leak<\/a>.<\/p>\n
