Nintendo’s Switch 2 Faces Setback as Borderlands 4 Launch Delayed

Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 console, which launched in early June to record sales, has hit a snag with the delayed release of Borderlands 4. Take-Two Interactive announced the postponement, citing the need for additional development time to polish the game and implement cross-save functionality.

The delay forces the cancellation of all digital pre-orders for the sci-fi shooter on Nintendo's new AI-powered handheld. This comes as the Switch 2 achieves remarkable commercial success, selling over 2 million units to become Japan's second fastest-selling gaming machine.

While the setback is temporary, it represents a missed opportunity for Nintendo to capitalize on the console's strong momentum. Take-Two maintains its commitment to delivering a quality experience, though the new release date remains unspecified.
