10 Most Anticipated Video Games Still To Come In 2025

10. Borderlands 4

The fourth entry into Gearbox's beloved looter-shooter franchise shifts the action to the new planet of Kairos and focuses on a largely new cast of Vault Hunters who will do battle with the tyrannical dictator known as the Timekeeper.

Though the nuts and bolts of Borderlands 4's gameplay are very much what we know, Gearbox has promised that this will be the biggest and most open-ended Borderlands game to date.

Most impressively, they're also touting a "seamless" experience where Kairos' four zones can be explored without any loading screens at all. 

In addition to more comprehensive vehicular options - such as the ability to spawn cars at will - players will also now have a grappling hook to fling themselves around.

And as will surely be a considerable relief to many, the developer has vowed to cut back on the edgy toilet humour which some fans felt reached an exhausting excess in Borderlands 3.

Gearbox is certainly saying all the right things, so hopefully it'll transpire into a sequel that well and truly pushes the franchise forward.

Borderlands 4 releases on September 12.
