Borderlands 4 Story Trailer Premiere: 2K and Gearbox Reveal New Details Ahead of Nintendo Switch 2 Launch

2K and Gearbox Software have officially confirmed that the highly anticipated story trailer for Borderlands 4 will premiere tomorrow, delivering an in-depth glimpse into the game’s narrative and setting.

This new chapter in the acclaimed Borderlands series will transport players to the dangerous world of Kairos, a volatile planet threatened by the iron-fisted rule of the Timekeeper and his army of synthetic enforcers, The Order. The unveiling is set to coincide with the Borderlands 4 Fan Fest, scheduled to begin at 5:30pm BST / 6:30pm CEST and livestreamed on Twitch.

Immediately following the live event, the story trailer will be made available on YouTube, enabling global audiences to experience the next evolution of Borderlands storytelling firsthand. Set against the backdrop of Kairos, Borderlands 4 places players in the boots of one of four new Vault Hunters embroiled in a fight for freedom and fortune.

Tasked with rising against the oppressive Timekeeper—a relentless dictator whose perfect Order controls Kairos—players will face a catastrophic upheaval that threatens the very fabric of the planet’s society.

As resistance ignites, explosive confrontations with mechanical foes, savage bandits, and formidable beasts take center stage.

Vault Hunters will harness their distinctive Action Skills and amass an ever-expanding arsenal to survive and thrive amidst the chaos. According to an official statement from 2K, the upcoming adventure promises to deliver "dynamic free-form combat, expansive exploration, adrenaline-charged boss battles, endless loot variety, and a vibrant cast of both new and returning characters." Fans can look forward to engaging in both solo missions and co-op play, either independently or with up to three other players, echoing the franchise's trademark multiplayer experience. Borderlands 4 is slated for a 2025 release and will be available both physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop, marking its debut on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

This launch expands the series’ availability to a new generation of Nintendo fans, underscoring the enduring popularity and innovative design Gearbox Software brings to the Borderlands universe. With the imminent trailer reveal and dedicated Fan Fest event, 2K and Gearbox are setting the stage for Borderlands 4 to become one of the most talked-about releases of 2025.
