Beyond the Borderlands takes you behind the scenes of Borderlands 4’s development. In this episode, hear from Gearbox Software’s Narrative Team about key players on the new planet Kairos, including new factions, their leaders, and dangerous commanders—plus learn how we approached creating our new arch-villain: The Timekeeper.

Borderlands 4 is a chaotic looter shooter packed with billions of guns, overwhelming enemies, and intense co-op action. Explore the dangerous hidden planet Kairos as one of four powerful new Vault Hunters.

Break free from the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator ruling from above. Now, a world-altering catastrophe threatens their perfect Order, unleashing chaos across the planet. Build a resistance and fight through mechanical monstrosities, bloodthirsty bandits, and fierce beasts using new traversal mechanics like: double jump, glide, dodge, fixed-point grapple, and more.

Battle solo or team up with up to three players in this massive sci-fi adventure featuring open combat and exploration, breathtaking boss fights, infinitely varied loot, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters—both new and familiar.

Borderlands 4 launches September 12 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. The Switch 2 version will follow later.
