Amon's Vengeance: New Borderlands 4 Trailer Highlights Cult Survivor's Story
Gearbox has just dropped another character spotlight for the highly anticipated Borderlands 4. These short, cinematic trailers aim to introduce players to the game's core cast, and this latest entry puts the powerful warrior, Amon, front and center.
The Grim History of Amon
Amon's past is steeped in tragedy. He grew up within a cult dedicated to worshipping the very monsters that emerge from the Vaults. His worldview was shattered when the cultists opened a Vault, and the creature unleashed within mercilessly killed everyone he held dear. As the sole survivor, Amon has dedicated his life to hunting and eliminating as many of these terrifying creatures as possible.
Described as a 'warrior-poet,' Amon is both thoughtful and unwavering in his duty. Despite his hardened exterior, he possesses a surprisingly gentle nature and often shares his extensive experiences and travel stories with his companions. The new trailer beautifully showcases this side of him, as Amon recounts one of his tales to his team while they rest by a campfire.
Release Details and Upcoming Demo
Players won't have to wait long to join Amon on his quest. Borderlands 4 is set to launch on September 12th for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Nintendo Switch 2 owners can look forward to its release on October 3rd. The game will also feature full text localization for Russian speakers.
For those attending gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany, a playable demo of Borderlands 4 will be available at the Microsoft booth from August 20th to 24th. This will be a fantastic opportunity for fans to get a hands-on preview of the game before its official release.
What This Means for Players
The introduction of characters like Amon through these detailed trailers suggests a deeper focus on narrative and character development in Borderlands 4. Amon's tragic backstory and dual nature as a fierce warrior and reflective poet promise a compelling addition to the Borderlands roster, offering players a character with significant depth and motivation as they explore the treacherous worlds of the game.
