Gearbox Software and 2K Games announced a Borderlands 4 Hands-On event directly after their exclusive Borderlands 4 State of Play event, and the date was confirmed during Gearbox Software’s Main theater Show at PAX East.
The Borderlands 4 Fan Fest takes place on June 21, 2025, in Downtown LA, and some of your favorite creators will attend the event and live stream the game.
Tickets for this event will be available soon.
This article will be updated as more details emerge, so stay tuned for more Borderlands 4 awesomeness or check the Borderlands 4 Roadmap!
What to expect
The exclusive Borderlands 4 State of Play mostly showcased Vex while Rafa tagged along. The PAX Panel went a bit deeper into Vex’s skills. I think the Borderlands Fan Fest will allow fans to play as Vex or Rafa, and we get to learn a lot more about these two Vault Hunters.
- Harlowe + New Location during Bilibili World?
- Amon + End Game during Gamescom?
- Post Launch Content at PAX West?
- DLC + Seasonal Event at PAX Australia?
I was invited to the Borderlands 3 Gameplay reveal event in 2019 and to each Vault Hunter’s hands-on event. I haven’t been invited for a Borderlands 4 Hands-On yet, but I’ll keep you posted if that happens. I would be honored if it happens, but we have to wait and see if it’s in the cards this time, but Gamescom sounds more likely.
