Revealed with a brief teaser trailer at Gamescom, we&rsquo;ve already got an idea of what it&rsquo;s all about &#8211; and a vague 2025 release date.<\/p>\n<p>The Borderlands 4 trailer opens with the Firehawk symbol in space following the ending of its predecessor when Lilith unleashed her Siren energy to prevent Elpis, Pandora&rsquo;s moon, from destroying the planet. Although this ending was controversial, especially with Ava seemingly taking centerstage going forward, Borderlands 4 evidently <em>isn&#8217;t <\/em>walking back on this decision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rsp-embed-container\" contenteditable=\"false\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.5%;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Q8WImF649E?feature=oembed\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Q8WImF649E?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/1Q8WImF649E\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following this, we see Elpis seemingly shattering space to unleash chaos on a planet &#8211; and city &#8211; below, suggesting Borderlands 4 will take us to a new region of space at long last. Then, a robotic hand picks up the iconic Borderlands psycho mask, which could be teasing a new villain or protagonist, though there&rsquo;s not much to go on besides the robotic limb.<\/p>\n<p>Hidden at the end of the trailer is some cryptic text written in an alien language. We&rsquo;ll have to wait and see whether this text actually means anything, as no doubt avid Borderlands fans will give it their best to translate it if so.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, we won&rsquo;t have to wait too long before we can get our hands on Borderlands 4, as the teaser-filled trailer ends with a vague 2025 release date for PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Steam, and, of course, Epic Games. In fact, you can already wishlist the looter-shooter.
