Borderlands 4 Trailer Heralds Claptrap’s Return

2K Games and Gearbox Software released a new trailer for Borderlands 4. The minute-long video highlights the return of series mainstay Claptrap, who has managed to become the leader of the Crimson Resistance on the new planet of Kairos. However, it also reveals that the game includes a discrete Claptrap dialog volume slider in its settings.

Borderlands 4 takes players to Kairos and introduces four new playable Vault Hunters who search for valuable alien treasure while fighting the authoritarian Timekeeper. The game will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 12, 2025. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also planned to release later in 2025.
