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.]

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers – Survive the Madness, Level Up Like a Legend!

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers for PC + Console!

Curious what it’s like to survive in a plague-ridden nightmare teeming with spiritual corruption? Enjoy the gameplay below. Get a raw look at combat by way of... enemy encounters, and the eerie beauty of Shu's cursed world.


 Welcome to Shu, Where Every Step Could Be Your Last 

The world of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is no stranger to despair. Set in the late Ming Dynasty, its version of China has been disfigured by the mysterious “Feathering Disease,” a supernatural plague that distorts bodies and fractures minds. From shadow-infested alleys to sunken temples, Shu is as treacherous as it is beautiful—and every corner feels like it’s watching you.

You take on the role of Bai Wuchang, a memory-fractured pirate with a brutal edge and a spiritual burden. But don’t expect overpowered heroics. The game’s design is punishing by nature. Combat demands tactical reflexes, whether you’re testing one of five weapon types or triggering momentum-based perks like Skyborn Might. Layer that with the Madness system—where overexposure to corruption risks spawning a vengeful version of yourself—and some encounters become psychological warfare. My progress orb is waiting down in an area that I'm unsure I can reach. I fell over while fighting an enemy... so you know what my mission is. This happened right after beating a boss character!


 Leveling Up in a World That Wants You Dead 

In Wuchang, leveling up isn’t just about grinding—it’s about surviving smarter. The currency you need is Red Mercury, and one of the best ways to farm it is in the Mt. Zhenwu region, specifically the Avian Marsh.

Here’s how to make it rain Red Mercury:

  • Target the Giant Pearl Oysters: These sneaky swamp dwellers hide in water and ambush you. But if you strike first while they’re dormant, you can pop them out and go full seafood chef on their exposed pearls.

  • Each oyster drops ~2,750 Red Mercury, and you can take down two per run.

  • Add in regular enemies, and you’re looking at 8,000+ Red Mercury every 2 minutes.

  • Boost your Madness stat to earn even more—but beware, you’ll take more damage too.

  • Pro tip: Use ranged magic to trigger oysters safely, then rush in for the kill. Rinse, repeat, and watch your stats climb.

For late-game players, the Zhenwu Antechamber offers even juicier rewards. Mutants and bird monsters clash in the courtyard—take out both sides for 10,000+ Red Mercury per run. It’s tougher, but the payout is worth the sweat.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers doesn’t hold your hand—it throws you into the fire and dares you to breakdance. But with the right strategy, you can rise above the madness and carve your legend into the cursed soil of Shu. So gear up, farm smart, and... game on!

A Soundtrack That Sets the Mood

Whether it’s the haunting orchestral pieces or the pulse-pounding battle tracks, the OST adds another layer to the experience. As an indie developer, they really knocked this out of the park... especially for their first title.

Overall, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a testament to what indie studios can achieve with cutting-edge software as tool to wield with those skills. Sandfall Interactive has crafted a visually stunning, emotionally gripping RPG that stands out in a genre full of giants.
