Key Takeaways

📺 Borderlands 4 Goes Gold

Borderlands 4 goes gold ahead of its September 12, 2025 release. The latest installment in Gearbox's looter‑shooter saga has officially "gone gold", meaning the master disc is ready for duplication and distribution. Fans can now mark their calendars for September 12, 2025, when Vault Hunters worldwide will dive into Pandora's explosive new chapter. In the lead‑up, pre‑order bonuses and deluxe edition skins have been announced, and those who pre‑purchase on Steam or the Epic Games Store will be able to preload the full 80 GB day‑one patch to ensure a smooth launch day experience. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the Official Story Trailer for a glimpse of the new characters and devastating weaponry that await.


How to preload Borderlands 4 for day‑one action. To avoid server queues at midnight launch, head to your platform's storefront now: Steam users can click "Preload" under the game's store page, while Epic Games Store users will find the preload option in their "Library" once pre‑orders go live. Console players on PlayStation and Xbox should see pre‑download prompts appear in the game hub—simply select "Download" to grab the core files ahead of time. And if you want to show your hype, you can retweet Gearbox's celebratory announcement on X Borderlands tweet.

📺 Wolfenstein TV Series Confirmed

Wolfenstein TV series confirmed by Amazon and Kilter Films. Bethesda's storied shooter franchise is leaping from console to streaming, with Amazon Studios green‑lighting a live‑action adaptation in collaboration with Kilter Films and showrunner Patrick Somerville (best known for the hit Fallout series). While a premiere date hasn't been revealed, fans can expect the same blend of alternate‑history storytelling and high‑octane action that defined titles like Wolfenstein: The New Order. For an early look at the creative vision, watch the Wolfenstein: Youngblood - Official Story Trailer to see the tone and aesthetic informing the upcoming series.


What to expect from the Wolfenstein adaptation. Although production details remain under wraps, industry insiders suggest the series will explore untold rebellions against the Nazi regime—much like the acclaimed games. Script drafts reportedly pay homage to the narrative beats of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, promising fans a deep dive into WWII‑era intrigue with modern, high‑budget production values. For more on the development team's track record, IGN's feature Wolfenstein Series in Development at Amazon With Fallout Show Team Attached profiles the key creatives guiding the project, and Variety's exclusive report ‘Wolfenstein' TV Series in Development at Amazon From ‘Fallout' Producer Kilter Films, Patrick Somerville dives deeper into Amazon's vision.

📺 Star Wars Outlaws Sequel Cancelled

Star Wars Outlaws sequel cancelled by Ubisoft. In a surprising turn, Ubisoft has pulled the plug on the planned follow‑up to Star Wars Outlaws. According to Nintendo Life's report Ubisoft Reportedly Cancels Star Wars Outlaws Sequel, the decision stems from lukewarm reception to the original title and overarching approval authority held by Lucasfilm (now under Disney). This marks a rare retreat for the publisher, which had envisioned a multi‑title roadmap to expand its space‑smuggler RPG.


What's next for Star Wars gaming after Outlaws. For now, the galaxy's next big adventure will be Star Wars Eclipse, under development at Quantic Dream. While Outlaws attempted to blend open‑world stealth with blaster‑fueled combat, Eclipse promises narrative‑driven gameplay set against the tumultuous High Republic era. If you missed Outlaws the first time around, you can still watch the Official World Premiere Trailer to catch up on scoundrel‑style heists, train‑robbing set‑pieces, and sleek ship‑to‑ship dogfights—just don't expect a sequel any time soon.
