Check Out Action-Packed Borderlands 4 Gameplay Footage

Sure thing. Here’s a rewritten version:

Okay, so, get this — 2K and Gearbox are at it again. They’ve thrown out some wild new gameplay shots of Borderlands 4. And guess what? It’s landing on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime later this year. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

First things first, though. Let’s talk about these new Vault Hunters they showed off. Two out of four, to be exact. You got Vex the Siren — she’s this badass who can either amp herself up or trot out these spooky shades to fight alongside her. Then there’s Rafa, the Exo-Soldier. Used to be a Tediore trooper. Now he’s rocking an exo-suit that can conjure weapons outta thin air. I remember thinking, “Where do I sign up?”

Anyway, the whole thing’s taking place on this planet called Kairos. And here’s the kicker: there’s this dude named the Timekeeper. For ages — literally thousands of years — he’s been calling the shots, using Bolts (some kind of tech mumbo jumbo) and an army called The Order to keep everyone in line. It’s got that classic fight-for-freedom vibe, but with guns. Lots and lots of guns. I couldn’t stop thinking about how intense those battles are gonna be.

During the PlayStation State of Play, they gave us a little look-see into a region called Terminus Range. We’re talking mountains, snow, the whole frozen deal. Vex and Rafa just tearing it up, showing off the new weapon stuff. Honestly, it was kinda overwhelming. Not complaining, though. Eight manufacturers with their own wham-bam-boom weapons? Sign me up.

Oh, and there’s this strange new thing with licensed parts? Sounds fancy. Mix and match parts from different gun makers to create something new. Like a blender for chaos. Seriously, who thinks of this stuff?

Another cool, if not slightly insane, bit — there’s this gear slot that lets you recharge grenades and heavy toys like rocket launchers. I mean, I can’t even imagine the sound of it. Sort of like a symphony of destruction, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Borderlands 4 is set to drop on the Nintendo eShop. Retail too. Mark those calendars for 2025. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what more craziness comes our way.

Why do I feel like I’m already under the Timekeeper’s thumb? Anyway, enough rambling from me. Go check out that footage when you can, if you haven’t already. It’s something else.

There you go, in all its messy, chaotic glory.
