Adventure Awaits in... Borderlands 4!

From Pandora to Erebus, the Borderlands legacy continues with fresh chaos!

It’s been a long, wild road for Vault Hunters everywhere. From the original Borderlands that redefined the looter-shooter genre, to Borderlands 2’s unforgettable villains and co-op chaos, to Borderlands 3 pushing the formula to new heights — the journey’s been nothing short of mayhem and fun! If you haven't played Borderlands 3, you can stream it free right now!

Now, Borderlands 4 is here… and it’s vault hunting time! Before we go any deeper, check this out — here’s a look at Borderlands 4 in action.





Explosions, loot drops, and pure chaos — just how we like it.

 A New Chapter of Chaos 

Borderlands 4 takes the action to Erebus, a planet drenched in neon lights, mystery, and the kind of gunfights that you want to partake in with your favorite people.

The cel-shaded style we know and love shines brighter than ever under Unreal Engine 5, and the gameplay has leveled up across the board. You’ll run, wall-hop, grapple, and slide through explosive firefights while discovering weapons that literally adapt to your fighting style.

Whether you’re returning to the Borderlands universe or jumping in for the first time, Borderlands 4 hits that mix of humor, chaos, and fun.

 Vault Hunter Life Never Looked (or Played) Better 

The cast of Vault Hunters is stacked with new personalities and powers that encourage experimentation and creativity. Every skill tree feels more dynamic, every weapon more unpredictable — and with smarter enemies, you’ll actually need to strategize on the fly.

Oh, and that loot? It’s next-level. Adaptive modifiers, multi-element weapons, and gear that changes mid-fight mean no two sessions ever play the same.

 Crossplay and Mayhem with Friends 

Whether or not Borderlands 4 is the “rebirth” you were hoping for, there’s adventure to be had. So grab a friend, family member, or that one buddy who swears they’re “done with shooters,” and dive into some crossplay mayhem across platforms.

Gearbox has made teaming up easier than ever — whether you’re on PC (Epic + Steam), PlayStation, or Xbox, everyone can join the madness together. Nintendo Switch 2 owners will join the part at the end of December 2025.

 How to Enable Crossplay 

  1. Launch Borderlands 4 and head to the Main Menu.

  2. Select Options, then navigate to the Network & Social tab.

  3. Look for the Crossplay option and toggle it ON.

  4. You’ll be prompted to set up or sign in to your SHiFT account (if you haven’t already).

  5. Once connected, add your friends via SHiFT Friend Codes or link your accounts through the in-game social menu.

And that’s it — you’re ready to jump in, team up, and loot everything that’s not bolted down.

So whether you’re chasing epic gear, unraveling the secrets of Erebus, or just out to make things explode in the most creative ways possible… adventure truly awaits in Borderlands 4.

I’ll see ya out there, Vault Hunters. [Rides away on an eccentric giraffe that loves pineapples.]

September Game Drops 2025: What’s Worth Your Time + What’s Worth Calling Out

September 2025 has signed off, but that doesn't mean it didn't leave behind games that are worth playing! These games range from long-anticipated sequels to bold indie experiments, and we wanted to make sure you didn't miss them. So here’s a curated look at the September 2025 releases.


 Epic Adventures + Storytelling 

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 4

The wait is finally over. Team Cherry’s long-anticipated sequel landed with a thunderclap, and it’s every bit the Metroidvania masterpiece fans hoped for. Hornet’s journey through Pharloom expands the formula with fluid combat, layered quests, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Silent Hill f

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 25

Konami’s boldest Silent Hill entry in years takes the series to 1960s Japan, blending psychological horror with folklore-inspired visuals. It’s unsettling, cerebral, and deeply atmospheric.


 Shooter Highlights + Multiplayer Mayhem 

Borderlands 4

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 11

The looter-shooter returns with a new vault-hunting crew and a fresh world, Kairos, under the thumb of The Timekeeper. Gearbox promised a more balanced tone, and it shows—humor is still there, but the story finally takes itself seriously. Sign me up for over the top humor.

NBA 2K26

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC, Switch – Released September 5

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlines this year’s edition, and while the gameplay polish is undeniable, the monetization model continues to frustrate.


 Survival + Horror 

Dying Light: The Beast

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 18

Techland takes the zombie apocalypse to rural farmland and swampy thickets. The open-world traversal remains a highlight, and the new “beast” mutations add fresh tension.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 30

Square Enix’s enhanced edition of the tactical classic closes out the month with a bang. Updated visuals, rebalanced mechanics, and Switch 2 optimization make this a strategy lover’s dream.

 Indie Darling + Quirky Surprises 

Bad Cheese

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 1

A bizarre platformer that’s equal parts gross-out humor and clever mechanics.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 1

Cozy mythological adventure with Stardew Valley vibes.


 What’s Worth Your Time? 

If you're seeking a well-round gaming experience, these pics deliver across genres:

•  Hollow Knight: Silksong for rich artistry and precision platforming

•  Borderlands 4 for chaotic co-op action with loot-driven progression

•  Silent Hill f for a slow-burning psychological horror with a folklore twist

•  Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for grid-based strategy with political intrigue

September 2025 came in with enough to deliver exploration, skin crawling survival, explosive co-op action, and metroidvania action locked in with great storytelling. This lineup covers all bases!

Nintendo Direct July 2025 Recap: JRPGs, Chaos, and a Gobbler in a Hat

The Showcase That Slapped Like a Blue Shell on Rainbow Road

Nintendo wrapped up July with a Partner Showcase that felt like a small buffet of genre goodness. From monster-riding mayhem to HD-2D nostalgia, this 27-minute Direct gave us plenty to chew on—and no, we’re not just talking about Pac-Man’s appetite.

Before we go any further, check out the full Nintendo Direct video below to see the fun unfold in real time. Grab a snack and enjoy games coming to the NS1 + NS2:


 ðŸ”¥Top 5 Games That Had Us Yelling at the Screen (In a Good Way) 

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Capcom’s beloved turn-based spin-off returns with a vengeance. This time, you’re not just bonding with monsters—you’re riding a Rathalos into a full-blown war between kingdoms. The story dives into environmental collapse and ancient prophecy, with a mysterious egg that might hatch something world-ending. It’s Monster Hunter meets Game of Thrones, but with scales, claws, and a whole lot of heart. Coming 2026 to Switch 2 and other platforms.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Square Enix is flexing its HD-2D muscles again, but this one’s an action-RPG with real-time combat and seven weapon types. You play as Elliot, a stylish adventurer with immaculate hair and a fairy sidekick named Faie. Together, they explore time-warped ruins and uncover ancient secrets. Bonus: Faie can be controlled by a second player for co-op chaos. Demo’s out now, and the full game lands in 2026. The demo is available now.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment This surprise entry in the Warriors franchise dives deep into Zelda lore, telling the canonical story of the Imprisoning War—the events that led to Tears of the Kingdom. You’ll battle as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legends in massive hack-and-slash combat. Partner attacks, mysterious Constructs, and a cryptic teaser involving Fi’s theme have fans theorizing like it’s finals week in Hyrule History class. Launching Winter 2025 exclusively on Switch 2.

Cronos: The New Dawn Bloober Team’s twisted sci-fi survival horror drops you into a post-apocalyptic future where time travel is your only hope. You’re a Traveler sent back to 1980s Poland to harvest souls and survive mutated horrors. The game blends Dead Space vibes with psychological dread, crafting ammo from scraps and burning bodies before they merge into stronger monsters. It’s brutal, brilliant, and launching September 5, 2025.

Borderlands 4 Gearbox is back with more loot, more chaos, and a new planet—Kairos. Expect explosive combat, ridiculous weapons, and a storyline that’s somehow even wilder than before. The trailer teased new Vault Hunters, upgraded co-op mechanics, and a villain who looks like they eat sarcasm for breakfast. Borderlands 4 hits Switch 2 on October 3, 2025.

Honorable mentions go to Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, Persona 3 Reload, and Octopath Traveler 0, which all made solid impressions but didn’t quite steal the spotlight from the top five.

 ðŸ›‘ Parental PSA  The screen of the console is positioned near the top of the Nintendo Switch 2 box, just under the lid (as seen in this unboxing). So if you’re stacking gifts—beware. Moisture, pressure, heat, and punctures could turn the shiny new console into a very expensive repair bill.

This Direct may not have dropped a new Mario adventure, but we know its coming.
