One of the hotly anticipated titles of last year, developer Gearbox’ looter shooter Borderlands 4 has tons of grand plans for 2026 as revealed by the game’s official roadmap for this year. So if you’re currently playing Borderlands 4, you wouldn’t want to miss all the big and exciting contents coming to the wastelands in 2026.
The roadmap for Borderlands 4 for this year starts with a free add-on scheduled to launch today which will add an extensive photo mode into the game where players can adjust the field of view and other screen options when taking photos on all platforms. There’s also lots of filters and other cool functionalities to play around with in Borderlands 4’s photo mode which Gearbox has detailed on their official site.
Both free as well as paid DLCs are set to release in the first quarter of the game and for the paid contents, players can get the second Bounty pack, the Legend of the Stone Demon and the Pearlescent Rarity DLC as a free add-on for Borderlands 4. Also, there’s the first Story pack update titled “Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned” which is set to bring an all-new region of Kairos, new story missions plus the first new Vault Hunter for Borderlands 4 named C4SH.
And in the second quarter of this year, Borderlands 4 will receive multiple Bounty pack updates along with story updates plus a new challenging gauntlet mode with it’s own arena and whole new Bosses as endgame contents. The gauntlet is named ‘The Takedown’ which Gearbox notes is the most difficult endgame mission yet, so if you’ve already completed everything the game has to throw at you and are hungry for even more challenges, the upcoming mode is for you.
There will also be many important changes across the game such as an increase in level-cap, shared progression, cross-platform saves and more.
