Okay, so here’s the deal: 2K and Gearbox threw some Borderlands 4 gameplay our way, and well, gotta say, I’m pumped. Switch 2 players, it’s your turn — later this year, apparently. Wonder if they timed this with my birthday or something. Probably not, but hey, nice coincidence, right?
So, picture this: two new Vault Hunters. First up, we meet Vex. She’s a Siren. Imagine conjuring deadly shades or just juicing herself up with power — seems wild, right? Then there’s Rafa the Exo-Soldier. This guy’s a former Tediore trooper, rocking an exo-suit that’s not just for show. It digistructs weapons out of thin air! Like, who thinks of this stuff? His style, Vex’s vibe — both unique. And talk about leveling up — the skill trees are basically a gamer’s dream board. I’m all in for that.
Moving on to planet Kairos. Yeah, I know, not the beach resort I imagined. Instead, there’s this Timekeeper dude. He’s been playing puppeteer with Bolts and synthetic soldiers. Not gonna lie, it creeps me out. Still, picture yourself leading a ragtag band through this cybernetic mess — sounds exhausting yet fun. Enemies? Pfft, they’ve got no idea what’s coming when Vault Hunters show up armed to the teeth.
During the States of Play, we catch Vex and Rafa ripping through Terminus Range. Picture a snowy hideout, secret bases — feels like a scene out of a spy movie. Or was it a dream? Anyway, these guys weren’t there to make friends. It’s all about showing off gear. And the weapons? Just nuts. We’ve got eight manufacturers in the mix.
There’s this licensed parts system — mix and match weapons till you get something mind-blowing. Reminds me of those build-your-own burger places. More toppings, less predictability. Gear enhancements, grenades, heavy weapons, you name it. You can heal, boost, whatever. Makes me want to suit up and dive in, you know?
Oh, heads up — mark 2025 on your calendars. That’s when Borderlands 4 is officially landing on Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah, I know, patience isn’t my thing either. But try holding on. We can soak up all this madness together, one insane battle at a time.
