Gearbox Software has revealed a Borderlands 4 deep dive via Sony’s own State of Play format, with over 20 minutes of PS5 Pro gameplay showcased. Check it out above.

Footage covers exploration of the open world as well as a portion of a mission, before diving into combat, the new Vault Hunters, and character customisation. There’ll also be three new gun manufacturers for a total of eight in the game. The fourth entry seems to be calling on Destiny 2 a little, with random events in the open world.

The story setup from the PlayStation Blog is this: “In Borderlands 4, we’re dropping you into the middle of Kairos, an all-new planet rife with warring factions, deadly fauna, and desperate inhabitants. For thousands of years, the oppressive Timekeeper kept the planet hidden, controlling its inhabitants with cybernetic implants called Bolts and an army of synthetic soldiers known as The Order.”

Borderlands 4 comes to PS5 on 12th September 2025. What did you think of the State of Play showcase? Share all your thoughts and reactions in the comments below.
