Summary
Gearbox Software has revealed how someBorderlands 4fans can play the game months in advance of its release date. AlthoughBorderlands 4isn’t set to launch until June 04, 2025, some lucky gamers will be able to play the game well before that.
It has been six years since the last mainline game in theBorderlandsseries, and gamers have patiently waited for the next iteration to arrive. 2019’sBorderlands 3was met with a mixed critical reception, with particular criticism aimed at its disappointing story and writing style. However, when it came to gameplay,Borderlands 3was better than ever, taking the looter shooter series to new heights. The hope is thatBorderlands 4will be able to do the same thing, albeit with a stronger story and better writing this time around.
In a post on X, Gearbox revealed that gamers will be able to get hands-on playtime withBorderlands 4at the upcoming Borderlands Fan Fest, which is set to be held on June 21 in Downtown Los Angeles. This means any gamer lucky enough to attend will be able to experience the nextgame in theBorderlandsseriesalmost three months before its full release. According to the post, tickets for the event will be available soon, although it stops short of saying when exactly fans can grab them, so anyone who wants to attend will need to keep a keen eye on theBorderlandssocials in the coming days and weeks.
Borderlands 4 Will Be Playable at Borderlands Fan Fest, Tickets Drop Soon
Previous Fan Fest events have had treats forBorderlandsfans to enjoy. Last year, the Fan Fest held earlier in the year gave fans a look at the first trailer for thecritically pannedBorderlandsmovie, which released late last year to plenty of disappointment. It’s fair to suggest that fans want to seeBorderlands 4surpass the quality of theBorderlandsmovie when it launches later this year.
As the release ofBorderlands 4draws closer, Gearbox has continued to show small pieces of gameplay that have given fans a better idea of what to expect from the title. A recentBorderlands 4gameplay deep dive left fans feeling unsure about the UI, while other elements, such as the expanded skill trees, have come in for early praise. Expect even closer looks at the game as its September 12 release date draws near.
