Borderlands 4’s Rafa Gets Gameplay Trailer

2K Games and Gearbox Software released a new trailer for looter shooter Borderlands 4. The new video offers a gameplay overview for Rafa, one of the four new playable Vault Hunters in the game. Rafa acts as a combat veteran class who uses his Deadframe exo-suit to attack enemies at any distance.

He is armed with Arc-Knives for melee attacks, which shift the game into a third-person view when activated; over-the-shoulder Peacebreaker Cannons that attack targets in front of him and can use different types of ammunition or be deployed as a turret; and the APOPHIS Lance that allows him to fire volley of plasma or charged up shots. His Overdrive trait encourages players to use their Action Skills, boosting his movement speed and damage whenever a skill is active.

Borderlands 4 takes players to Kairos, where they search for valuable alien treasure while fighting the authoritarian Timekeeper. The game will introduce four new playable Vault Hunters and include cross-platform co-op multiplayer for up to four players. It will release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 12, 2025, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version following on October 3, 2025.
