Following an April Fools Day release date leak, Gearbox Software confirmed today that Borderlands 3 will release September 13. The studio also dropped a new trailer that showcased new gameplay and confirmed that Borderlands 3 will initially be distributed through the Epic Games Store on PC. The game will eventually be available on other digital storefronts, but this won’t be until April 2020.

The latest trailer, which you can watch below, introduces a host of new characters, including four new Vault Hunters: Moze the Gunner, Amara the Siren, FL4K the Beastmaster, and Zane the Operative. We also got a look at the villainous Calypso Twins. Check out our feature detailing everything we know about the four playable characters and their abilities, which will be updated as more information is revealed. Plus, get caught up on all the latest news about the game.

When Borderlands 3 launches, there will be multiple versions of the game available to purchase on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Each one has unique bonuses and extras available for those that are willing to drop the extra cash on them.
