Borderlands 4 gets October release date for Switch 2

We already knew that Borderlands 4 would be launching for PC, PS5 and Xbox in September, but a highly anticipated Switch 2 version of the game still had no date. As it turns out, the Switch version won't be releasing too far behind the other platforms.

On PC, PS5 and Xbox, Borderlands 4 will be available on the 12th of September. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will release a few weeks later, on the 3rd of October.

Borderlands 4 takes players to a brand new planet, Kairos, which is ruled by a dictator known as Timekeeper. The game features new Vault Hunter classes, and a whole host of new weapon types, including:

• Order guns focus on precision with high-powered bursts
• Ripper guns charge up to go fully automatic
• Daedalus guns are easy-to-use and incorporate multiple ammo types
• Tediore guns are reloaded by tossing them as grenades
• Maliwan guns specialize in elemental damage to burn, freeze, and shock
• Jakobs guns can fire bullets as fast as you can shoot with ricochets on critical hits
• Vladof guns have a high rate of fire and huge magazines
• Torgue guns have heavy-duty explosive rounds that can switch to sticky projectiles.

Gearbox has also made improvements to looting, making farming for coveted gear “much more intuitive”. Players will be able to replay missions as many times as required to obtain certain drops, or you can use the Big Encore Machine to replay specific boss fights.

That is about everything we know about the game so far. We expect to learn more in the weeks leading up to launch.
