Gearbox Entertainment officially revealed gameplay for the upcoming Borderlands 4 earlier this year. Gearbox has refreshed the Borderlands experience, introducing a lot of new traversal mechanics to the series such as double jump, glide, dash, and the use of a grapple hook. Gearbox has also ramped up exploration and traversal with new mechanics as well. Today, during Borderlands Fan Fest, Gearbox released an official story trailer showcasing the new vault hunters, factions, enemies, and more as the citizens of Kairos fights to break free from the oppressive Timekeeper, a ruthless dictator who dominates the masses from on high.

So far, Gearbox has only showcased two of the four new vault hunters players get to choose from. Vex, the Siren, uses supernatural phase energy to empower herself or conjure deadly minions to fight. Rafa, the Exo-Soldier, wears an experimental exo-suit capable of digistructing an arsenal of weapons. Today, Gearbox shed some light on the other two vault hunters, Harlowe, the Gravitar, and Amon, the Forgeknight. Harlowe harnesses science and physics to fight her battles. Amon can change his Fire and Ice axes into different things, other abilites, and more.
