Check Out the Action-Packed Borderlands 4 Gameplay Footage

Sure thing, let’s dive into this! So, okay, 2K and those Gearbox folks, yeah, they just threw out a longer gameplay vid for Borderlands 4. It’s landing on the Nintendo Switch 2, maybe quicker than you’d expect.

Alright, picture this: in that sneak peek, we got a glimpse—well, more like a full-on look—at two out of four new Vault Hunters. Now, Vex the Siren, she’s kinda epic. Super strong, can juice herself up or conjure these, um, killer shades to fight with her. And then Rafa, who’s this ex-Tediore soldier type, struts around in a wild exo-suit. It’s a gear soup, seriously, with weapons popping out like daisies—or something like that. Both of these characters, yeah, they’ve got their own vibe, all leveled up by this intricate skill tree business. ‘Advanced’ might be an understatement.

The setting? Vast, unending—oh, and kinda stitched together—planet called Kairos. And… enter the Timekeeper, the baddie boss guy. This dude’s kept stuff under wraps for eons, using cyber implant thingies called Bolts, and, uh, the all-guns-blazing The Order. As players wander Kairos, they’ll bump into loads of fresh faces, some throwbacks, and, you know, beastly types. Everyone’s in different factions trying to wiggle out from the Timekeeper’s thumb. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it’s also a recruitment drive. Friends become allies, baddies end up meeting your weapon collection, that kind of stuff.

Now, remember during that PlayStation moment called State of Play? Oh man, Vex and Rafa just bulldozed through this secret spot in a place called Terminus Range. Icy, rocky—it’s got that whole treacherous charm. The gear system explodes here—literally and figuratively.

We’re talking killer arsenal from eight manufacturers, some old, some shiny new—each with their version of firepower madness. There’s this Licensed Parts thing, blending abilities from different makes, so yeah, Frankenstein your guns. Enhancement slots that play favorites, Ordnance setup for Grenades and heavy boom-stick stuff, keeps players from running out of bang with timed recharges. And Rep Kits—like pocket healers or power boosters whenever things go sideways.

And drop a pin—Borderlands 4 is going retail and digital, hitting Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. So, prep your thumbs or whatever. You’re gonna need them.
