It is time to meet Vex for Borderlands 4, with a look at the Siren’s abilities and reasons why they are in Borderlands 4
The Dark Siren is coming right for us all in Borderlands 4, as we get to see Vex in all the Siren glory out there. Well, as much as is available before Gearbox is able to bring the game to market on September 12th for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. They are not going to spoil everything we have for Vex before then, but we do need to see some solid gameplay to experience out there. That is where the new character showcases are coming in. A few that will offer up on Vex became the necromancer Siren out there in the universe, along with the various ways those powers will be used, along with the many, many guns we are going to be carrying around.
In a fun twist of events, and it being the Borderlands universe, Vex had a start in working in just a mercenary shop on the planet. When things go sideways in the store, all of the Siren powers come forth and offer up a new life for Vex. One that allows for various spectral clones of Vex to be brought to life, as well as a massive spectral cat that will fight for us. As if making versions of Vex that can stand still and shoot, or follow enemies around with a massive scythe, was not already enough. That is on the larger scale of things for Vex, though, as Vex will also have a few other Siren powers in the mix to help out with all of the guns Borderlands 4 will place in our hands. A fun, new twist to all of these things in the universe, and you can see some of that in motion just a little bit lower down the page here.
