Gearbox has officially moved up the release date for Borderlands 4, now set to launch on September 12. This new date comes just over a week earlier than its originally planned timeframe. While some fans speculated that this shift was a strategic move to avoid a clash with the highly anticipated GTA 6, Gearbox's head, Randy Pitchford, has clarified that this is not the case.
In a statement on social media, Pitchford emphasized that the decision to change the release date is "literally zero percent about any other product's actual or theoretical launch date." Instead, he attributed the shift to the studio's growing confidence in the game, which is supported by their ongoing development progress and bug-fixing rates. This reassurance from Pitchford highlights the studio's commitment to delivering a polished experience for fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Borderlands franchise.
Fans can expect more exciting updates about Borderlands 4 later today during PlayStation's dedicated State of Play event. Scheduled to begin at 10 PM UK time, this event promises to reveal new insights and gameplay footage, further igniting anticipation for the game's release. Eurogamer will cover the event live, ensuring that fans stay informed with the latest news regarding the upcoming title.
With the release of Borderlands 4 set for September 12, fans can look forward to a thrilling new adventure in the beloved franchise.
