Borderlands 4 was originally meant to launch September 23 but was brought forward to September 12. According to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, the change was “the result of confidence in the game and development trajectory backed by actual tasks and bug find/fix rates”.

“Our decision is literally 0 per cent about any other product’s actual or theoretical launch date,” he added. According to early previews, Borderlands 4 is a much-needed evolution of the series.
