In Borderlands 4 players will assume the role of a legendary Vault Hunter as they blast their way through hordes of enemies in search of new treasures to loot on an all-new planet.

Borderlands 4 introduces The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high. A world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing mayhem across Kairos, the most dangerous planet discovered so far in the Borderlands universe.

Crash into Kairos as one of four new Vault Hunters seeking wealth and glory. Wield powerful Action Skills, customize your build with deep skill trees, and dominate enemies with dynamic movement abilities.

Break free from the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high. Now a world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing mayhem across the planet.

Ignite a resistance and blast your way through mechanical monstrosities, bloodthirsty bandits, and vicious beasts. Amass an arsenal of death-dealing firepower to wreak havoc as you tear your way across Kairos.

Fight solo or in co-op with up to three other players in this immense sci-fi adventure, packed with free-form combat and exploration, pulse-pounding boss fights, infinitely varied loot drops, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters new and old.

Borderlands 4 is the most ambitious Borderlands to date, lovingly hand-crafted by the development studio that first forged the looter shooter genre.


This past weekend, Gearbox and 2K shared new details about upcoming content from the Borderlands 4 Post-Launch Roadmap at PAX Australia. Developers on the panel revealed the contents of Bounty Pack 1, the first Seasonal Mini-Event, an Invincible Boss, and more!

Bounty Pack 1: How Rush Saved Mercenary Day

Bounty Packs are paid DLC that bring new bite-sized-yet-flavorful narrative content to Kairos. Across a series of all-new Main Missions, players will team up with Rush and show the Timekeeper's Minister of Culture the true meaning of Mercenary Day, a jolly time for gift-giving and gunslinging with friends and family. They might also score some new Legendary loot in the process!

Bounty Pack 1 also includes a Vault Card with new rewards that players will earn through gameplay, with 24 cosmetic items to unlock and 4 pieces of rerollable gear. The rerollable gear can be earned as many times as players like, so it can be an opportunity to obtain a roll with stats that perfectly suit a specific build! Here's the full breakdown of the Bounty Pack 1 Vault Card loot:

4 rerollable weapons

  • 4 Vault Hunter Heads usable by VexRafaAmon, and Harlowe
  • 4 Vault Hunter Skins usable by VexRafaAmon, and Harlowe
  • 5 Weapon Skins
  • 5 Vehicle Skins
  • 4 ECHO-4 Drone Skins
  • 2 ECHO-4 Attachments

Bounty Pack 1 also features a few extra goodies to find:

  • 1 New Digirunner Vehicle (available shortly after starting the first Main Mission)
  • 1 Vault Hunter Style usable by VexRafaAmon, and Harlowe (available after beating the boss and completing the Bounty Pack's final Main Mission)
  • 1 ECHO-4 Drone Skin (available after beating the boss and completing the Bounty Pack's final Main Mission)

To access Bounty Pack 1: How Rush Saved Mercenary Day, players can:

  • Purchase Borderlands 4 Deluxe or Super Deluxe Edition (both include the Bounty Pack Bundle)
  • Alternatively purchase the Bounty Pack Bundle that includes Bounty Pack 1 or purchase Bounty Pack 1 individually

How Rush Saved Mercenary Day is the first of four Bounty Packs included in the Bounty pack bundle. We will be revealing more details about the additional bounty packs in the coming months.

Free Seasonal Mini-Event: Horrors of Kairos

The first free, limited-time Seasonal Mini-Event, Horrors of Kairos, will scare all players senseless from October 23 to November 6 . Players will encounter a terrifying new weather effect of blood rain when fighting world bosses, and killing them has a chance to earn you new Legendary loot. We'll also be offering seasonal cosmetics through SHiFT codes shared on Borderlands social channels.

Free Endgame Updates: Bloomreaper the Invincible

Bloomreaper the Invincible, the first of the endgame Invincible Bosses coming to Borderlands 4 as free updates for all players, is coming in Q4. The "Invincible" moniker is a throwback to the raid bosses of Borderlands 2, so these aren't literally unkillable enemies—but players' skills will be tested by the massive health pools, extremely lethal attack damage, and new modifiers of these all-new bosses.

The title evolves the series’ gameplay and storytelling in new ways while delivering on the quintessential Borderlands experience fans know and love, including:

  • Intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons on an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant.
  • The deepest and most diverse Vault Hunter skill trees of any Borderlands title yet, giving players an unprecedented level of expression through their builds. Paired with the most expansive loot chase yet, players will have all the tools they need to seek out and perfect the build that best matches their style.
  • Players will be able to seamlessly travel between zones and become immersed in a more dynamic world featuring events and discoverable side missions that encourage and reward exploration.
  • New traversal mechanics add to the exploration for loot and add new dimensions to combat. A vehicle that can be summoned almost anywhere will have players racing across the beautiful vistas of Kairos in style.
  • Fight solo or in co-op with up to three other players in this immense sci-fi adventure, packed with free-form combat and exploration, pulse-pounding boss fights, infinitely varied loot drops, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters new and old.

Borderlands 4 is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) at $69.99, followed by Nintendo Switch 2 at a later time.
