Borderlands 4 is coming to PC and consoles on Sept. 12, and developers Gearbox have already laid out the plans for the next few months for post-launch content.
Just like its predecessors Borderlands 2 and 3, the 4th installment will also get additional content once the game goes live. This includes free and paid additions to ensure that the community has enough on its hands once they hit the endgame and complete the main campaign.
Let’s quickly look at what’s on the roadmap for the foreseeable future, and why you should be extremely excited.
