What happened in the Borderlands 4 trailer?

At the moment, nothing else is known about Borderlands 4. However, the trailer does set a release date for sometime in 2025, so fans should expect to see more information sooner rather than later. Prior to Borderlands 4, the last installment in the FPS/RPG series was 2019’s Borderlands 3, which was released for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.
The Borderlands series began in 2009 with the first release of the game, and has since been considered one of the first successful “shooter and looter” games. The game is also known for its eccentric style and chaotic characters, including the popular Tiny Tina, who received her own spin-off game in 2022.
In addition to video games, the Borderlands franchise has also expanded into other media. Last month, a movie based on the game was released in theaters. The film starred Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramirez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
