PlayStation State of Play Set for April 30

—

Okay, so bear with me here. It’s official, Borderlands 4 is gearing up to hit the screens with a whole bunch of new stuff – on April 30th at this State of Play thing. Mark your calendars, folks! It’s all going down at 2 PM PT, and honestly, I’m kinda excited. Why? Well, they’re serving up a sneak peek into the weapons, characters, stories – the whole shebang. Like, imagine the games we already love, but juiced up.

Now, here’s the kicker: the game’s release date jumped from September 23 to September 12. Yeah, it was like, surprise! So, of course, everyone’s freaking out, trying to guess what’s in store during the livestream. More chaos? New skills? Who even knows at this point!

So, PlayStation spilled the beans about this whole broadcast deal where they’ll dive into Borderlands 4. Scheduled for a September 12 launch, it’ll be hitting not just your usual suspects like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S but also debuting on this Nintendo Switch 2. Anyone else curious what that’s about? I mean, why announce something so new and shiny during this massive info drop? Hmm… just me?

Anyway – Game Awards 2024 gave us our first glimpse into this upcoming madness, and let me tell ya, people were buzzing, both seasoned players and newbies. But now, with this bump in the release date, expectations are through the roof. I mean, the anticipation is real, folks.

Oh, and there’s talk about Graeme Timmins from Gearbox. He’s bringing Anthony Nicholson and some other folks to basically show us what’s what. Think developer-guided gameplay – whatever that means. Missions, action skills, returning characters, the works! Fans are speculating like their lives depend on it, hoping to spot some old favorites. Anyone crossing fingers for some legendary throwbacks?

Okay, when’s this shindig happening again? Oh right, April 30, 2 PM PT sharp. Tune into PlayStation’s Twitch or YouTube. It’s going to be 20 minutes of “explosive action” – their words, not mine. But, seriously, in this world of endless content, sometimes 20 minutes is all you need to blow your mind, or at least, keep things interesting, right?

But, look, will Borderlands 4 pull it off? Meet the hype? Who knows! The series has always been a top dog in the looter-shooter realm. Fingers crossed it stays true to its name. And seriously, this whole shifting release date thing, everyone’s wondering if it’s a strategy around the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 launch. People and their theories, I swear.

Anyway, what do you reckon? More twists and turns up ahead? Let the countdown to April 30 begin! 🕒
