Borderlands 3 is bringing the mayhem on September 13

Borderlands 3, the highly-anticipated sandbox shooter from Gearbox Software, finally has a release date – and it's landing on September 13 this year

The official Borderlands 3 Twitter account formally announced the date for the shooter, which is launching on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, and was expected before the end of 2019. It's now available to pre-order from the Borderlands website.

There had been a few rumors about this from leaker Wario64, which turned out to be pretty on the money – but you can see the official announcement and accompanying trailer below.

Get into gear

We don't learn much new from the trailer, after the earlier trailer we saw at PAX East.

We do, however, get the names of the four vault hunter classes (Moze the Gunner, Fl4K the Beastmaster, Amara the Siren, and Zane the Operative) as well as the name of the title's villains, the Calypso Twins.

There seems to possibly be more of a focus on vehicular combat than previous entries, but for now all we know is more Borderlands is coming, and that's enough to get us excited.
