Blast through new worlds and enemies as one of four brand new Vault Hunters – the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization.
Play solo or join with friends to take on insane enemies, collect bazillions of guns and loads of loot, and save your home from the most ruthless cult leaders in the galaxy – the Calypso Twins.
The franchise, which combines the exhilarating action of a first-person shooter with the rich progression and loot systems of a role-playing game, has sold-in more than 41 million units worldwide to date. The most popular title in the series – Borderlands 2 – still draws in more than one million unique monthly users more than six years after the game’s initial release in 2012.
No matter which platform you're playing on, we're happy to announce that Borderlands 3 will be available for pre-load roughly 48 hours ahead of the launch date and time listed for your region – yes, that includes PC!
If you're eager to begin your interplanetary journey through the Borderlands 3 galaxy as soon as possible on consoles, just know that outside of North America, the game will launch at midnight local time in every time zone (we call this a “rolling midnight” release). If you happen to be in North America, however, the game will launch at midnight Eastern Time across the whole region – that means 9 p.m. on September 12 if you’re on the west coast.
