Borderlands 4 Is Launching Two Weeks Earlier Than Planned

Borderlands 4, Gearbox’s sci-fi open-world looter shooter, was set to launch on September 23. But the FPS sequel is now launching two weeks ahead of schedule, as accidentally leaked by Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford.

On April 29, Pitchford shared a video on social media about Borderlands 4. He started the video off hinting that he had some bad news to share about the upcoming shooter, before pivoting and confirming that development on the game was going great. As a result, Pitchford announced in the cellphone video that instead of Borderlands 4 coming out near the end of September, it was now launching 14 days earlier.

Pitchford then promptly deleted the video off Twitter, and followed it up with a tweet implying that he shouldn’t have posted that announcement until later in the day. “Oops – time zones… Reposting momentarily 🙂 .”
