Sony has announced a special State of Play that will take place on April 30 at 11 PM peninsular time in Spain to delve into the details of Borderlands 4. This event will feature over 20 minutes of gameplay guided by the developers at Gearbox, showcasing missions, weapons, abilities, and characters, both new and classic. This State of Play gives fans an opportunity to get a better understanding of what awaits them in this new installment of the successful franchise.
Borderlands 4 also teases its release date
Borderlands 4, which is now set to launch on September 12 instead of September 23, has generated great anticipation, especially considering that it is the first time fans of the genre will be able to enjoy a main title since Borderlands 3 in 2019. According to Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, the change in the release date is because “the game is amazing” and the team feels satisfied with its progress.
During the State of Play, creative director Graeme Timmins and other members of the Gearbox team will share details about the game’s mechanics and the challenges players will face in the world of Kairos, including the fight against a new enemy called the Time Guardian. This opening by Gearbox is especially relevant given that, until now, the studio had kept a low profile regarding information about Borderlands 4.
In a nod to gaming culture, Fortnite has reintroduced a collaboration skin with Borderlands, just in time for the highly anticipated release of Borderlands 4. This skin, which had been out of circulation for almost five years, is now available, demonstrating how franchises can intertwine and maintain the interest of the gaming community on both platforms.
