A new trailer debuted duringPlayStation‘s latestState of Playpresentation, which shows the game in action.
Gearbox also announced that a special State of Play presentation dedicated solely toBorderlands4 will be coming this Spring, though no specific date was confirmed.
“Borderlands 4 is our most ambitious game to date, giving you more looting and shooting mayhem than ever before,” Gearbox chief creative officer Randy Varnell wrote on the official PlayStation Blog.
“Our team has been kicking so much ass, and we cannot wait to share it with you.”
Varnell also stated that players will be able to “move across the Borderlands like never before” with “double jumping, gliding, dodging, fixed-point grappling and more, dealing death from every direction”.
In December, the game’s narrative director Sam Winkler said the game will cut back on toilet humour and won’t rely on meme culture for its jokes.
In response to a follower on X, Winkler noted that while he was “not at liberty to talk much about the content of Borderlands 4,” he “remains firm in [his] criticism ofBorderlands 3‘s overabundance of toilet humor”.
“I’m not gonna say there’s no toilets but if the word skibidi ships in the game under my watch I’m gonna cry real tears,” he added. “Paul Tassi joked that we were gonna have a gun called Hawk 2A and a fellow dev asked me if it was real and I wanted to put my hand down the sink grinder.”
