Borderlands 4 will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in a few weeks, but to celebrate the initial launch, a new trailer has come in. It’s actually a cinematic video for the looter shooter rather than gameplay.
Those interested in learning more about the title can read the following overview:
System: Switch 2
Release date: September 5, 2025
Developer: Bloober Team
Publisher: Bloober Team
It’s always nice to play games that feel like a product of the people that made them, and to see complex cultural values and historical experiences reflected within the games we play. It’s even nicer to see these topics handled in a way that feels earnest, heartfelt, and naturally rooted in the onscreen fiction. The risk-averse confines of the AA and AAA ecosystem make it difficult for modern developers to sing from the heart in this regard, which is what makes Cronos: The New Dawn such an enticing prospect. Fresh off of their mainstream mega-success with a solid remake of Konami’s Silent Hill 2, Polish developer Bloober Team has bucked the idea of banking on the safety of sequels and remakes. Instead, they’ve opted to hard-launch an entirely new action-horror franchise. Not just any new franchise, mind – but one that’s so deeply rooted in modern Polish history that I came out the other end of my time with it wearing a zupan.
Consider this part news and part rumor, but the next movie based on the Super Mario Bros. series may actually be called Super Mario Galaxy.
Fans have come across the domain names SuperMarioGalaxy-LaPelicula.com and supermariogalaxy-lefilm.com. These two redirect to Universal Pictures’ homepage in Spanish and French respectively. We know that a new Mario movie is coming out next year, but beyond that, nothing has really been said or shown.
