Borderlands 4: Making of videos (Beyond the Borderlands)
Ahead of the launch of Borderlands 4 later this year, Take-Two and Gearbox have started a series of Making of videos for the game called Beyond the Borderlands.
As of writing, two episodes are available:
Episode 1: Making a Vault Hunter
Beyond the Borderlands takes you behind the scenes of the development of Borderlands 4. Hear from Gearbox Software developers on the making of our most ambitious title ever.
Episode 2: Welcome to Kairos
Beyond the Borderlands takes you behind the scenes of the development of Borderlands 4. In this episode, hear from Gearbox Software’s Narrative Team about the key players on our new planet Kairos, including new factions, their leaders, and dangerous commanders; and hear how we approached writing our new big bad: the Timekeeper.
Finally, here’s the Story Trailer (which is age-restricted, unfortunately!):
Get a glimpse of the Timekeeper’s cruel reign, including the disturbing process of being implanted with a Bolt—a spine-grafted cybernetic device used to dominate the populace. Soon after crash-landing, the Vault Hunters are arrested and forcibly affixed with the device, trapping them on Kairos.
The Timekeeper and his Order are the ultimate superpower on Kairos, ruling from the impenetrable fortress city known as Dominion City. When Elpis arrived in Kairos’ orbit and unleashed cataclysmic destruction, the Timekeeper locked down the city and sent his Commanders to deal with the fallout firsthand. Now, the Timekeeper watches over Kairos from the safety of his tower while his Commanders maintain his Order.
From humble beginnings, you’ll need to travel across Kairos and ignite the revolution against the Timekeeper. People all across Kairos have begun to rise up, and this powderkeg is set to explode. Enter Claptrap, self-proclaimed mastermind behind the Crimson Resistance, who’s set on making the Vault Hunters his newest recruits.
And finally, here’s some additional details:
Borderlands 4 is a mayhem-fueled looter shooter, jam-packed with billions of weapons, outrageous enemies, and intense co-op action.
Explore a dangerous hidden planet Kairos as one of four new badass Vault Hunters. Break free from the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high. Now, a world-altering catastrophe threatens his perfect Order, unleashing mayhem across the planet.
Ignite a resistance and blast your way through mechanical monstrosities, bloodthirsty bandits, and vicious beasts, with new traversal mechanics like: double jumping, gliding, dodging, fixed-point grappling, and more.
Fight solo or in co-op with up to three other players in this immense sci-fi adventure, packed with free-form combat and exploration, pulse-pounding boss fights, infinitely varied loot drops, and an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters new and old.
Borderlands 4 (Switch 2) does not have a release date yet, but is slated for a 2025 release worldwide.
