Breaking Borders: The Dream Collaboration in Borderlands 4

On September 11, 2025, 2K officially unveiled a new WebCM for the highly anticipated game, Borderlands 4, featuring popular Nijisanji VTubers Kato, Kuzuha, and Lauren Iroas. This collaboration is set to generate excitement among fans, blending the immersive world of gaming with the captivating energy of virtual personalities.

An Original Trailer That Breaks Boundaries

Set to release on September 12, the original Japanese trailer showcases a seamless blend of live-action and game footage. The story begins with Masahiro Kaneda, who represents the “viewer,” engaging in a live stream featuring the three talented VTubers. As he becomes drawn into the world of Borderlands 4, the narrative expands on the theme of crossing boundaries — not just between reality and virtual spaces, but also among players of different levels.

The trailer vividly captures the excitement of cooperative gameplay, featuring players tackling formidable bosses and missions together. The representation of camaraderie emphasizes how gaming unites individuals, transcending any limits.

The Music Behind the Magic

Adding to the thrill is the featured song “IN_MY_HEAD” by the sensational singer-songwriter Notori. Her explosive sound enhances the Borderlands 4 experience, perfectly harmonizing with the chaotic and colorful world depicted in the game. Notori's comment on the collaboration expresses her hope that listeners feel liberated through her music, embodying the game's essence.

“I hope that ‘IN_MY_HEAD’ makes you feel as if you're breaking your own limits, just like the game does,” Notori stated.

A Multi-Dimensional Collaboration

This project embodies a unique convergence of gaming, music, virtual, and real elements altogether. With the tagline, “There are no boundaries when having fun with friends,” it conveys a strong message on the nature of gaming as an inclusive activity. The enthusiasm from Kato, Kuzuha, and Lauren Iroas, as they engage in intense gameplay, is meant to resonate with audiences, making it a highlight of the trailer.

The trailer is set for a larger rollout with both long and short versions, allowing viewers across different platforms to enjoy the diverse media presentation.
