Borderlands 4 gets a release date and another acrobatic trailer

I'm not even a Borderlands guy and I have to admit this latest Borderlands 4 trailer looks fun. Randy and Randy (that's Varnell and Pitchford, respectively) appeared at Sony's State of Play stream to show off more of Borderlands 4's acrobatic gun antics.

But the biggest news is a release date: Borderlands 4 is out September 23, 2025. That's a Tuesday, if you're curious. Multiple failed attempts to get into Borderlands 3 and that strange Tiny Tina game have shooed me away from the series, but I'm seeing lots to like in the sliding, double jump, and grapple hook—is Borderlands a movement shooter now? Ok, I'm leaning in.
