Borderlands 4 Reveals Amon, The Forge Knight
Gearbox Software has once again given fans a closer look at the diverse cast of characters in the upcoming Borderlands 4. The latest gameplay trailer focuses on the combat prowess of the formidable Forge Knight, Amon, showcasing his unique blend of close-quarters and ranged abilities.
Amon is designed for players who love to charge headfirst into battle. While he excels with heavy melee weapons, he's also highly effective from a distance. His combat style is deeply tied to elemental damage, allowing for explosive and strategic engagements. A standout feature of Amon's kit is his shield, which can absorb incoming damage and then unleash it back at enemies, turning defense into a powerful offense. He can also deploy a wall of flame, providing crucial protection for allies in the heat of combat.
A Unique Blend of Tank and DPS
If you enjoy a front-line fighter who can both withstand heavy blows and dish out significant damage, Amon is your character. He's not just a durable tank; his skill set is mechanically complex, featuring both primary and secondary functions that offer a high degree of experimentation, even for veteran players.
The new trailer visually demonstrates Amon tearing through foes with an arsenal of weapons that transform into drones, all stored within his cybernetically enhanced body. Whether he needs to attack or defend, Amon is ready. He can crush enemies with a mighty hammer, slice them in two with his axes, absorb damage with his shield, and much more, adapting to any combat situation.
Borderlands 4 is set to launch on September 12 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is planned for October 3. Players attending gamescom 2025 in Cologne will have the chance to try out a demo version of the game at the Microsoft booth from August 20 to August 24. With Amon joining the roster, players can look forward to even more diverse ways to experience the chaotic fun of Borderlands.
