The Borderlands 4 State of Play today offered fans a deep dive into the gameplay of the upcoming title, introducing players to the new Vault Hunters, environments, mechanics, and ways to traverse the world. The next game in the series will continue the story where Borderlands 3 left off, taking the franchise six years into the future and departing from the planet of Pandora into the war-torn Kairos with a brand-new team of Hunters. A lengthy exploration of the gameplay showed off many new features, from the new characters to beloved classics.
Joining players this time around are four new Vault Hunters, with the showcase focusing on two: Vex the Siren, and the former Tediore soldier Rafa. With a new planet come new environments, and Borderlands 4 will have new ways to get around within them. The title will have players running and gunning, but also climbing, double-jumping, grappling, dashing, gliding, and riding as they explore the new planet. The showcase also offered a look at the overhauled skill tree mechanic, which will give players more variety and customization options than ever before.
