**Excerpt:**
*”Gearbox Interactive has surprised fans by moving *Borderlands 4*’s release date up by two weeks—now launching September 12, 2025, instead of September 23. While officially attributed to development progress, insiders speculate the shift aims to avoid a clash with *GTA VI*, another Take-Two title expected to dominate Fall 2025. Fans can look forward to a 20-minute *Borderlands 4* gameplay deep dive at Sony’s State of Play on April 30, 2025. The strategic reschedule ensures the looter-shooter won’t be overshadowed by Rockstar’s juggernaut—giving vault hunters more time to enjoy the chaos before *GTA VI* takes center stage.”*
