The Art of Borderlands 4

Author Rick Barba
A full-color oversized hardcover volume collecting art and commentary chronicling the development of Borderlands 4!

Borderlands 4 brings intense action, badass Vault Hunters, and billions of wild and deadly weapons to an all-new planet ruled by a ruthless tyrant.


In Gearbox Entertainment and 2K’s next entry of their iconic looter shooter franchise, the cataclysmic arrival of Pandora’s moon throws the planet Kairos into chaos, and only the Vault Hunters and their allies will be able to stop the authoritarian machinations of the Timekeeper.

You’re invited to join Gearbox, 2K, and Dark Horse for a deep dive into the making of Borderlands 4, from concepts to character designs, enemies to environments. And of course, guns! See how the world of Kairos came together in The Art of Borderlands 4!
Rick Barba is one of the most published book authors in the videogame industry, with more than 130 game-related titles in print, including Diablo III: The Official Limited Edition Strategy Guide and the novel XCOM 2: Escalation (Insight, 2017). A graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop, Rick has been on the writing faculty at Santa Clara University and the University of Nebraska Omaha, and has published fiction in numerous literary journals such as Chicago Review, Black Warrior Review, AQR, and Gordon Lish’s The Quarterly. He’s thrilled that the content of his two Starfleet Academy novels for Simon & Schuster (The Delta Anomaly and The Gemini Agent) is part of the official Star Trek canon. Rick lives just outside Boulder, Colorado.
