Looter-shooter is also advertised in a new set of Vault Hunters, insane weaponry, and ferocious co-op action as players flee a hostile hidden planet.

Of particular interest, although the official release date is Friday, September 12, 2025, PC players on the respective Steam and Epic Games Store stores will have a major head start, as the game will accessible globally on Thursday, September 11.

In most localities, console releases occur on a local midnight release timeline and the Nintendo Switch 2 edition is slated several weeks later, in October.

The performance issues have also been discussed with Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford, confirming a necessary Day 1 patch that addresses several improvements to the game. inkPlayers have the option of loading the game before the release.
