Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Release: 2K and Gearbox Announce Robust Post-Launch Content Plans

2K and Gearbox Software have officially detailed their post-launch content roadmap for Borderlands 4, set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025.

This marks a significant step for the Borderlands franchise, bringing its acclaimed looter-shooter formula to the next generation of Nintendo hardware and expanding possibilities for both solo and co-op play. Borderlands 4 is set on the perilous planet of Kairos, where players can choose from four new Vault Hunters.

This latest installment challenges players to overthrow the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator whose grip on the world is threatened by an impending catastrophe.

As a player, you must fuel a burgeoning resistance and battle through mechanical monstrosities, vicious beasts, and marauding bandits.

Throughout the campaign, you’ll gather an arsenal of unique weaponry and master powerful Action Skills, living up to the series’ legacy of electrifying, action-packed gameplay. Responding to community interest in continued support, 2K and Gearbox Software have committed to a 'robust roadmap of free and paid post-launch content.' Paid downloadable content (DLC) will introduce two new Vault Hunters, offer access to previously unexplored regions of Kairos, and add a suite of new story missions, side quests, challenges, and formidable new enemies.

Alongside paid expansions, players can expect a regular stream of free updates designed to keep the world of Borderlands 4 fresh and engaging.

Complete details on specific content and release schedules are to be announced at a future date, ensuring anticipation remains high as launch approaches. Whether taking on the campaign solo or teaming up in four-player co-op, Borderlands 4 promises an adventure filled with high-octane, freeform combat, challenging boss fights, and an endless array of loot drops.

With a cast featuring both new and returning characters, Gearbox aims to balance franchise nostalgia with innovative gameplay on Nintendo Switch 2. Borderlands 4 is slated for a global retail and digital release on Nintendo Switch 2 and will be available via the Nintendo eShop in 2025.

For both long-time fans and newcomers eager to explore the mayhem of Kairos, this upcoming entry looks set to deliver the inventive, action-driven experiences that have defined the Borderlands series.
