Borderlands 4 Launch Moved Up, While Switch 2 Speedrun Stuns Fans

In a pleasant surprise for gamers, Borderlands 4 is arriving earlier than expected—its release date now set for September 12. Developer announcements suggest strong progress in development, fueling anticipation among franchise fans who expected a late-year launch. Meanwhile, a speedrunner shocked the community by completing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on an unreleased “Switch 2.” The runner apparently used a dev kit or emulator to achieve a record time. Nintendo swiftly took down footage, but it indicates next-gen hardware is at least partly in circulation. Both stories underscore the gaming industry’s dynamic pace: unexpected schedule shifts can delight fans, while clandestine hardware leaks keep speculation swirling.

What this means for you:
If you’re a Borderlands enthusiast, mark your calendar early—preorders and special editions may sell quickly.
Remain cautious about unofficial leaks regarding upcoming consoles; rumors don’t guarantee actual performance or release timelines.
In the meantime, watch for possible Switch 2 announcements from Nintendo, especially if you plan to upgrade soon.
