Borderlands 4 delayed indefinitely on Switch 2

If you were looking forward to Borderlands 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Just a week out from its planned release, the Borderlands 4 team has delayed the game on Nintendo’s new console indefinitely. The delay is so indefinite that if you’ve already pre-ordered the game, your order will be cancelled.

This is the official statement on the delay:

Greetings, Vault Hunters – We need to share that the release of Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 is being delayed. We do not take this decision lightly, but are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development and polish time to do that. Our hope is to also better align this release with the addition of cross saves, which we are working on and recognize is very important. We will update you all on the new release timing once we’ve fully adjusted our plans.

In accordance with Nintendo’s policy, all digital pre-orders to date will be cancelled. Customers can initiate that process themselves now, or it will happen automatically starting on Friday, Sept. 26. For physical pre-orders, please reach out to the corresponding retailer.

We greatly appreciate the feedback, support and patience of our fans and community. It’s truly what keeps us going.

We’ll let you know when there is a new release date.
