During the Game Awards 2024, 2K and Gearbox dropped the trailer for the upcoming Borderlands 4 game coming in 2025. The looter shooter franchise’s latest offering will be taking players into new territory with a host of new characters and of course, new weapons to loot and use.
It’s been a while since we actually played a Borderlands game, but we’re confident diving into this new one will be enjoyable on the ASUS TUF Gaming A15.
Borderlands 4: Breaking New Ground
At the heart of Borderlands 4 is Kairos, described as the most dangerous planet yet discovered in the Borderlands universe. Players will be introduced to The Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator whose iron grip on the masses is about to be challenged by a world-altering catastrophe that threatens to unleash unprecedented mayhem.
