Hello! We’re back already – it’s another one of those blogs telling you where our review is, but let’s be honest you can probably guess by now. Here goes: you might’ve spotted some Borderlands 4 reviews going live around about now, but unfortunately we won’t have a review for you here on the site today – or indeed on the game’s full launch when it comes out tomorrow.
This is because at the time of writing, we haven’t been provided with advanced review code by Borderlands 4’s publisher, 2K Games – and at this point it’s time for me to run through all the usual caveats to just keep in mind.
The important one, as always, is that we are absolutely not entitled to early review code. How many codes are handed out for a game and when is entirely at the publisher’s discretion – it’s their game, they can handle access to it how they like. Instead, please just see this is another “PSA” to go along with similar ones we’ve published in the past in similar situations, such as those for games like No Man’s Sky, Watch Dogs 2, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, MindsEye, and most recently, Mafia: The Old Country.
We’ve not had a chance to look at Borderlands 4 in advance for other preview coverage, so here’s an official trailer to give you a basic outline.Watch on YouTube
As usual here, we’ll do our best to bring you a review as soon as is feasible. In the meantime, you can see what we thought of the previous entry in our Borderlands 3 review – and what we made of the most recent game from developer Gearbox, in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
