Borderlands 4 Stuns Everyone with Its Latest Trailer

Borderlands 4 Unveils Darker Tone with Siren Vex and Her Familiar Cat in Purple Friday Trailer

On September 12, 2025, Borderlands 4 will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The latest installment aims for a darker, more serious atmosphere, departing from the previous titles’ offbeat and deranged universe while still retaining its signature style. A recent promotional trailer, “Purple Friday,” highlights the focus on a shifted tone, delving into the origin story of Vex, one of the four new Vault Hunters players can embody in Borderlands 4. Released on YouTube, this lengthy trailer introduces Vex as a Siren with formidable Phase energy assaults. Vex previously worked temporarily at a store on an undisclosed planet, where she acquired her Siren powers. During a chaotic shopping rush fueled by “capitalism madness” and “mercenary sales,” she became overwhelmed. In this frenzied environment, Vex received her Siren abilities, transforming the store into a gruesome slaughterhouse. Vex’s powers link to summoning and occult abilities, visually featuring dark purple aesthetics and demonic wings. Her primary companion is Trouble, her Phase Phamiliar, a cat. Vex can unleash elemental orbs, create copies of herself, stick Trouble to enemies, attack from a distance, and summon reinforcements.

New Movement Options, Vault Hunters, and Endgame Experience in Borderlands 4 on Kairos!

Borderlands 4 introduces several new movement options, including double jumping, gliding, dodging, and fixed-point grappling. Work on a skill tree plan is underway, though it may be subject to change before the game’s launch. Players can pre-order Borderlands 4 now on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, or pre-purchase it on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Beyond Vex, future dedicated trailers will reveal the origins of the other new Vault Hunters: Amon, the Forgeknight; Harlowe, the Gravitar; and Raffa, the Exosoldier. These introductions will set the stage for their arrival on Kairos, the new battlefield planet for Borderlands 4, a departure from the familiar Pandora of previous episodes. The game will also offer an endgame experience, which promises to be the best in the franchise.
