Borderlands 4 will be arriving in September 2025 and preorders have already started going live. After some initial controversy around the cost of the game, the price has officially been confirmed by 2K Games. At $70 for the standard edition, the newest Borderlands game in the series is going to be the most expensive so far.
Borderlands is set to release on September 12, but there is another related preorder that won't come out until later that same month. The Art of Borderlands 4 oversized coffee table book that features art and commentary from the game's development will be released on September 30. At $55, it is priced closer to what the previous standard edition video games were at launch.
Preorder The Art of Borderlands 4 Book
The Art of Borderlands 4 was announced last month when the cover was officially revealed. The book itself will feature224 pages in a 9x12-inch format that is perfect for coffee tables or your bookshelf. It features a mixture of sketches, line art, concept art, and commentary about how all of these things went into the development of the new game.
With a release date of September 30, the main downside of this art book is that it won't arrive until after the game. So if you were hoping to get an early look at how Borderlands 4 came together visually before you play the game itself, you're out of luck. If you're just a fan of the Borderlands series and want to add this book to your collection, however, it's worth checking out.
What Is Amazon's Preorder Price Guarantee?
If you've never actually preordered anything from Amazon before, it's worth noting that if you purchase this art book ahead of the release date, it includes Amazon's preorder price guarantee. According to Amazon's own help page, this means that if the price decreases between now and when the item ships, you'll pay the lowest price. So in this case, if this preorder gets a discount before the book actually starts shipping then you'll pay whatever it dropped to rather than the full price.
Although not every preorder gets discounted, physical editions of books seem to drop in price fairly often compared to other product categories. With Borderlands 4 arriving a full two weeks ahead of this art book, it seems likely we could see a preorder discount appear somewhere in that window this fall.
