Bounty Packs, new boss battles, seasonal events, and the return of Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode provide challenging content ahead of the first Story Pack: Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned

Today, during the Gearbox Main Theater Show at PAX West, 2K and Gearbox Software shared a detailed look at the endgame and post-launch content coming in Borderlands® 4, the next entry in the iconic looter-shooter franchise. Borderlands 4 will launch on September 12, 2025 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It will also be coming to Nintendo Switch™ 2 on October 3, 2025.

Endgame

Borderlands 4 does not end when the story concludes, as players can look forward to a comprehensive endgame experience focused on obtaining the best loot possible on Kairos. Players will experience progression through weekly challenge missions, unlockable Specialisations to further customise their loadout, and the return of Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.

• Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode has been reimagined for its return. This post-game difficulty option will challenge players through five unlockable levels that increase in difficulty. Additionally, applying lessons learned from past franchise entries, this mode no longer requires players to replay the campaign to gain new ranks. Instead, players will move up ranks through curated mission challenges that put their chosen build to the test, growing more difficult through progression and removing the need to re-farm the same gear.
• Each rank of Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode includes exclusive Firmware, which are set bonuses for gear that players will first experience throughout the campaign. The more firmware a player acquires results in a higher stat bonus. These powerful Firmware bonuses can be transferred once to another item, at which time the original item is destroyed and the Firmware bonus cannot be re-transferred.
• Multiple incentives will be provided to allow players to continue their search for the best loot: Weekly Wildcards offer rotating missions with a guaranteed Legendary reward. In the Weekly Big Encore Boss, Moxxi’s Big Encore selects one boss for the week that can be unlocked with Eridium for a larger iteration with increased drop rates. Maurice’s Black Market Machine sends players across Kairos in search of its spoils, with varied loot for every player’s game. Each of these activities is available for online matchmaking by intent, encouraging players to group up with friends, or find new ones whose interests align.*

Post-Launch Roadmap

Players can look forward to a robust roadmap of free content and paid DLC rolling out following the launch of Borderlands 4, so they can continue their adventures on Kairos. The paid DLC includes two types of major offerings: Story Pack** and Bounty Pack.***

• The first of two announced Story Packs features the return of the indomitable fan-favourite Ellie in Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned. Featuring a cosmic horror theme with a bloodier, darker tone, this Story Pack includes an all-new region of Kairos to explore, multiple engaging main and side missions, all-new legendary gear, and the introduction of the first post-launch playable Vault Hunter. In addition, this pack brings 4 new Vault Hunter Skins, 2 new Vehicle Skins, 3 ECHO-4 Drone Skins as well as attachments, and 1 ECHO-4 Frame.
• With the launch of the first Bounty Pack, players will experience narrative-based missions that expand the Borderlands universe. These missions will reveal more about the new characters players encounter on Kairos, starting with Rush, the gregarious leader of the Outbounders. Each Bounty Pack includes new Main Missions, a new boss, new Legendary Gear, 1 Player Skin, 1 ECHO-4 Drone Skin, 1 new Vehicle, and a Vault Card, allowing players to unlock 24 Cosmetics and 4 pieces of rerollable Gear.

Additionally, available as free content to all players, Seasonal Mini-Events kicking off in October with Horrors of Kairos offer new Legendary Weapons, new Cosmetics, and a new Weather Variant. Also available during post-launch at no extra cost to all players, Invincible Bosses return to test players’ skill and build inside of high-level new boss arenas that integrate the new traversal mechanics. Powerful new Legendaries serve as tantalising rewards for players who are able to defeat Invincible Bosses. Additionally, a new Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode level will release alongside each Invincible Boss.

Macclesfield, UK – 29th August, 2025. Publisher Silver Lining Interactive and developer Ciaran Games LLC have hoisted the black flag and revealed a wickedly brutal new weapons trailer for upcoming PC retro shooter Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation during The MIX Fall Showcase.

Coming to PC via Steam later this year, this gloriously gory, hand-drawn tale of revenge and mayhem delivers old-school shooter carnage with a swashbuckling, twin-barreled twist. In his quest for vengeance against the ruthless mercenary gang known as the “Killer Whales,” Captain Wayne is packing an arsenal of destruction that’d make even the saltiest sea dog tremble.

Fueled by the red mist of revenge, Wayne is ready to turn Orca Isle into a blood-soaked battlefield. From chain-gun fingers to explosive Boom Brew, from fruity-but-fatal coconuts and watermelons to the Captain’s own bone-breaking fists, this is one vacation that comes with no return ticket. And if all else fails, there’s always the Captain’s twin-barrel “Ol’ Reliable” shotgun arm (bolted on after a deadly dance with the fabled Vampire Whale), guaranteed to blast enemies into red mist faster than you can say “yo-ho-ho.”

A Tide-Turning Crusade Across the Seven-and-a-Half Seas!

Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation is a retro inspired, fast-action, blood-drenched FPS where you play as the cigar-chomping, rum-fueled scourge of the seas himself. Stranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne sets out to reclaim his stolen ship and exact merciless payback on the infamous gang, The Killer Whales.

Key Features:

• A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can’t be beautiful?
• 8 massive, enemy-packed areas across treacherous Orca Isle.
• An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
• A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a broadside cannon blast.
• Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne’s unhinged quest for vengeance to life.

Endless Blood, Endless Plunder!

Wayne’s voyage doesn’t stop at the campaign. A freshly-updated Endless Demo is available now on Steam for freebooters ready to test their mettle. Endless Mode brings six playable maps into the mix, three unlocked from the get-go, and three more waiting to be earned through carnage, grit, or sheer dumb luck.

So sharpen your harpoons, grab your boom stick, and prepare for a massacre of epic proportions. These Killer Whale scumbags aren’t going to explode into chum on their own.

Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation docks on Steam later this year. Until then, keep your powder dry, your rum strong, and your enemies in tiny, bloody pieces. Oh and add to your Wishlist – Captain’s orders!

New enemies, areas, and weapons featured in an explosive new look at the retro platformer

Maryland, USA – Aug. 29, 2025 – WOLFHOUND, the sci-fi World War II Metroidvania from Chasm developer Bit Kid, takes the fight to Axis abominations in a new trailer revealed at The MIX Fall Games Showcase, ahead of a 2026 release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam for PC and Steam Deck.

When Captain Chuck “WOLFHOUND” Rossetti was ordered to infiltrate an uncharted island, eliminate enemy forces, and rescue the crew of a vessel lost in the Bermuda Triangle, he expected a bloody mess. He just didn’t expect a crash landing, and for things to be so grotesque, thanks to the horrific experiments of the mad Nazi scientist, Dr. Steiner.

Explore the mysterious island, scavenging for weapons and ammo from the forces of the clandestine fortress. Fend off strange creatures debuting in the new trailer, like overgrown mutant rats with bladed tails, a massive armored bodyguard, and pulsating globs of formless flesh.

Make Dr. Steiner regret his decision to create powerful experimental weaponry like a railgun by turning it against his own creations. Scale otherwise un-navigable passageways by finding powerful mobility tech like air-dash boots and a jetpack. Capt. Rosetti will need every advantage he can get, as he realizes he’s the only one who can prevent Nazi world domination.

“The team and I have largely gone heads down since our successful reveal in 2024, but we’re glad to finally show off some of the new bizarre foes you’ll square off with,” said James Petruzzi, founder and lead developer at Bit Kid. “We know our fans have been itching to see more and try it for themselves – stop by the MIX’s event in Seattle tonight and try it for yourself.”

WOLFHOUND will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam for PC and Steam Deck in 2026. For more information, follow Bit Kid on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and join the official Bit Kid Discord server.

From the Makers of Slain: Back From Hell comes a metal-fueled gothic bloodbath. 

Macclesfield, UK – 29th August, 2025 – Silver Lining Interactive and Steel Mantis have revealed the first gameplay trailer for the blood-drenched pixel-art action platformer Slain 2: The Beast Within, shown exclusively during The MIX Fall Showcase. This brutal follow-up to the cult hit Slain: Back From Hell will be unleashed for PC via Steam in 2026. 

The trailer offers a first look at the game’s fast, visceral combat, gothic world design, and the return of the sentient sword Bathoryn, a weapon that has carved its legend across galaxies.

Players take up the blade as Prince Akran, last of the Wolf Knights, bound to a curse that grants the strength and savagery of the Beast. Under the light of the full moon, Akran can transform into a monstrous werewolf, tearing through enemies with unmatched ferocity. Lord Vroll’s corruption has spread across the land, and only fire, steel, and a whole lot of metal riffs can stop it.

Will you rise… or will the darkness consume you?

Key Features

• Ferocious, Responsive Combat – Cut down your foes with a mix of heavy melee strikes, well-timed counterattacks, and devastating elemental powers from the sword Bathoryn. Switch between fire, ice, and raw magical force to adapt your approach to each monstrous foe.
• The Wolf Knight’s Curse – Harness the power, and the danger, of the full moon. Transform into a towering werewolf mid-battle, ripping through enemies with speed, strength, and brutal claw attacks. Master the balance between your human and beast forms to survive the most dangerous encounters.
• Three Quests, Three Doomed Paths – Embark on three interwoven journeys to recover ancient relics of immense power: The Eye, The Heart, and The Dagger. Each quest offers distinct environments, enemies, and challenges, from storm-lashed fortresses to spectral coastlines and the abyss itself.
• Face the Dark Gods – Lord Vroll’s dominion is protected by champions of nightmare, abyssal warlocks, vengeful witches, and creatures born of darkness. Every major encounter tests not just your skill, but your resolve.
