Gearbox is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of Borderlands 4, with official confirmation of launch times across global regions. The latest installment in the popular first-person shooter franchise will officially debut on Friday, September 12, 2025. However, players in some parts of the world will be able to dive into the action a day earlier due to regional time differences. This staggered release allows varying access times, providing eager fans with clarity on when they can commence their adventure.
The scheduled launch times for those playing on
Early Access for Western Regions
Western countries will not be left behind, as regions including Paris and London gain access to the game a day before, on Thursday, September 11. Paris-based players can dive into the game at 6pm CEST, while London gamers get cracking an hour earlier at 5pm BST.
Across the Atlantic, fans in the United States will enjoy three different time slots. Players in New York can start their epic quests at 12pm ET, and those in San Francisco can begin their adventures at 9am PT.
Choosing Your Playable Character
With the adventure set to start, gamers are tasked with choosing between four compelling playable characters. Each offers a unique style and strategic advantage. Are you drawn to the mystical power of Siren-style builds, or do you yearn for the robust, brute-strength combat reminiscent of Brick's style? Perhaps a soldier loadout appeals, providing a well-rounded package suitable for those starting their journey. For the technologically inclined, characters equipped with advanced gadgets offer exciting possibilities, including damage-linking abilities and the capability to strategically pull enemies together.
Regardless of your choice, ensuring your setup is prepped and ready will enhance the launch day experience. Preloading the game and verifying whether updates are necessary is recommended.
As the countdown to Borderlands 4 intensifies, players can indulge in speculation and excitement by revisiting past series experiences or strategizing their initial gameplay tactics. The varied launch times only add to the global anticipation, creating a unified community bonded over their shared excitement for this next chapter in the Borderlands universe.
