Here’s the full rundown, as provided by 2K:

Borderlands 4 won’t be out on Nintendo Switch 2 for another couple of months, but we now have first footage of the game. Just like we’ve seen from other third-party titles over the past few days, the video comes from a playable demo. This particular clip was filmed at Fan Expo in Canada.

The gameplay here is all docked, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer to see how Borderlands 4 looks in handheld mode. Note that everything is off-screen and not direct-feed.

If you’re planning on picking up Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2, you should keep in mind that split-screen co-op won’t be included. On the bright side, there is support for cross-play.

Split-screen co-op will be available on other consoles. However, it won’t be offered on Nintendo’s system, according to a support page. Specifics aren’t provided as to why that is.

Borderlands 4 story

Borderlands 4 just issued its latest trailer focusing on the game’s story. Fans can get immersed in the high-stakes world of Kairos as its denizens break free from the tyranny of the Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who leads The Order – an army of synthetic soldiers. The video debuted during the Borderlands 4 Fan Fest today.

Here’s some additional information:

May 20: With rising concerns about the increasing cost of video games, some players are wondering if future titles will start launching at $80, a price point that’s becoming more common in the current generation. In light of this, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford shared some thoughts on the topic via X (formerly Twitter), especially in relation to Borderlands 4, which has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2.

When asked by a fan whether Borderlands 4 would be priced at $80, Pitchford responded by saying, “If you’re a real fan, you’ll find a way to make it happen.” He added that the final price point is ultimately not his decision, and that it’s likely up to publisher Take-Two Interactive.
