Borderlands 4 PS5 PlayStation

Your character choice in Borderlands is much bigger than an aesthetic one, steering you towards a specific playstyle across multiple skill trees. This can be something of a double-edged sword, depending on the skills allowed by the trees themselves. Borderlands 4 will apparently expand this aspect, boasting a collection of the "deepest and most diverse" skill trees the series has yet seen.

In an interview with GamesRadar+, senior project producer on Borderlands 4, Anthony Nicholson, says players can expect the game will give players "the greatest freedom to shoot and loot that they’ve ever had in the franchise, which stays true to the core of what made Borderlands so innovative when it first landed on the scene."

That's in addition to "new traversal mechanics and a more seamless world experience". Love it or leave it, the series' trademark toilet humour will be pared back in the next game, too.

Borderlands 4 is coming to PS5. While its release date has yet to be announced, it is expected to be in 2025. Let us know what you think about these proposed changes in the comments section below.
