The trailer for “Borderlands 4″ was revealed by Gearbox and 2K Games out of the Game Awards Thursday.
Per 2K’s synopsis for “Borderlands 4“: “See if you have what it takes to go down in history as a legendary Vault Hunter as you search for secret alien treasure, blasting everything in sight.”
No specific release date was revealed for “Borderlands 4” in the new announcement, but Take-Two’s 2K Games is sticking with promoting a 2025 launch.
The Gearbox-developed game, which was first announced out of the Gamescom video game convention in August, marks the fourth mainline “Borderlands” title and the seventh in the overall franchise, which has sold more than 87 million copies to date.
The studio describes the game as the “most ambitious” one for the “Borderlands” franchise yet. The title will mark the first “Borderlands” game released since 2K Games parent company Take-Two Interactive revealed plans to acquire Gearbox from Embracer Group for $460 million. As part of that deal, which closed in June, Take-Two got the rights to Gearbox IP, including “Borderlands,” “Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands,” “Homeworld,” “Risk of Rain,” “Brothers in Arms” and “Duke Nukem.”
