Borderlands 4 was unexpectedly revealed on the opening night of Gamescom, a video games trade fair that's held annually in Cologne, Germany. The sequel from 2K Games was not leaked anywhere so its reveal came as a complete surprise to the industry. An audience was treated to the first look at the reveal trailer ahead of it being shared on video sharing sites like YouTube and social media. A release window of 2025 has been shared and it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC with nothing else confirmed at present. As it was announced, there were quite a few whoops and cheers from the audience who saw it before anyone else.
Social media users have been reacting to the news of Borderlands 4 and a number of other announcements such as Mafia 4 and say they can't wait for these games to come out next year. One regular poster about GTA 6 said: '2025 can't come soon enough.' Another said they had watched the teaser 'countless times now' and are 'very excited'. One popular post has called for the game to have 'dedicated item farming during new game runs'. Another posted there is clearly still an appetite for Borderlands games despite the views of some.
