Sure thing! Let’s dive into this jumble of thoughts about Borderlands 4’s latest scoop.
So, Borderlands 4, yeah? The bigwigs over at 2K announced they’re dropping a story trailer on June 21. But this isn’t your typical YouTube premiere — nope, they’re taking the scenic route through Twitch and Steam. Why? Beats me. Maybe they’re trying to be trendy or something. Anyway, this game has been in our faces since August 2024 thanks to Gamescom, and it’s had more trailers than I have socks. Seriously, there’s been “First Look,” “Launch Date,” and then some gameplay thing, plus a 20-minute marathon — like, does this thing ever run out of teasers?
Oh, and wait, there’s this sneaky picture floating around — looks like it was snapped by a gopher with a camera. It’s got something about the game’s price and pre-order details. Not sure how that slipped out there, but here we are. I guess Gearbox and Randy Pitchford were stirring up some kind of uproar about this. I swear, video game drama makes reality TV look like documentaries.
Anyway, back to the trailer. It’s slated for this Saturday — make sure you’ve got your snacks ready by 12:45 PM PT (or whatever time zone you’re rockin’). Expect all the usual things in that trailer: guns, explosions, and Mad Moxxi parading around like she owns the place. No specifics on how long it’ll last, but gut feeling says it’s gonna be a decently long ride. Maybe.
And hey, to make things fun, they’re giving out a digital badge on Twitch. All you need to do is pretend to watch their stream for 30 minutes. Seriously, just mute the thing and fold laundry, it’ll still count. It’s all part of this Borderlands Fan Fest shindig where you’ll see some gameplay from planet Kairos. Sounds exotic? Kinda like a place you’d go to get away from your neighbor’s barking dog.
Meanwhile, Borderlands 4 kinda fudged its release plan. Originally, it was aiming for September 23, but now it’s trying to squeeze out by September 12. Playing hard-to-get, much? But hey, if you’ve got a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X/S, you’re covered. They’re even thinking about Nintendo Switch 2 — which sounds like a mystery device from Doctor Who. But, apparently, it’ll make an appearance by the end of 2025.
Alright, that’s enough rambling. Tons of stuff to keep an eye on. But, you know, the real question is — will it live up to the hype, or just crash harder than a kid on a sugar high? Guess we’ll find out soon.
