Gearboxsports betting CEO took the stage at The Game Awards to reveal the first gameplay of Borderlands 4, launching in 2025 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. More importantly, we’re introduced to the four new playable Vault Hunters alongside some of their abilities. Check it out below.
The story focuses on The Timekeeper and a “world-altering catastrophe”, which causes chaos on Kairos, a new planet. Players will presumably have to stop him, using “billions” of new weapons, the “deepest” Vault Hunter skill trees and a world more dynamic than ever. You also get new vehicles (which can be summoned anywhere) to explore and even partake in races. Co-op returns and s…
Best odds: 6/5
Bookmaker:
Rubin Kazan and Spartak Moscow open their respective Russian Premier League campaigns against each other at the Kazan Arena on Saturday evening. It should be an interesting contest, with both sides looking to get the 2021-22 season off to a good start.
Rubin Kazan
Rubin finished the 2020-21 season in fourth place with 53 points, three less than Lokomotiv Moscow, which means they just missed out on European qualification and it must have been extremely frustrating for manager Leonid Slutsky and his players. It will therefore be very important for their confidence to start the new season by getting on the right track straight away, though this match will likely prove anything but easy for them.
Rubin lost the services of Carl Sta…
Classy defender Scott Neville has walked out on the Perth Glory to join Newcastle Jets.

Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso believes his team will need to be at their best if they are to defend their European title.
Vicente del Bosque s men, the reigning world and European champions, enter the tournament in Poland and Ukraine as favourites.
But Real Madrid playmaker Alonso said his side face a difficult task to secure back-to-back titles.
It gets harder and harder to continue winning, Alonso told GQ.
We have a good team, we have the experience, but there are also other teams who are well prepared and very eager.
I think it will be even harder than Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010, because we will have to be almost perfect to win the title.
Despite tense recent encounters between La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, Alonso sa…
Axel Witsel has offers from both England and Italy and has asked to leave Zenit, according to coach Mircea Lucescu.
Witsel joined Zenit in 2012 from Portuguese side Benfica and has made over 150 appearances for the club, winning the Russian Premier League in 2014-15.

Gianni Infantino expects Qatar 2022 to be the best World Cup in history , he told reporters on Saturday while suggesting several criticisms of the finals were hypocritical.
An extraordinary opening speech saw the FIFA president respond on a wide range of matters, claiming he had received almost threats around the subject of migrant workers rights.
But Infantino s enthusiasm for the action on the pitch, which begins on Sunday, remained undimmed.
One prominent complaint has been around the staging of the World Cup in the European winter – especially with matches in some domestic leagues finishing less than a week before Qatar s opener against Ecuador.
Antonio Conte last week described England captain Harry Kane as very, very tired due to a relentless pre-…
Maurizio Sarri is hopeful Antonio Rudiger avoided a serious injury after he had to hobble out of Chelsea s defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.
The Blues defender went down early in the Premier League clash at Anfield with a knee problem and, having attempted to play on, was replaced by Andreas Christensen before half-time.
A long-term absence would provide cause for concern for Chelsea as they chase Champions League qualification and the Europa League title, with head coach Sarri waiting for news.
I hope it s nothing serious but, at the moment, I am not able to say anything, Sarri told a post-match news conference.
We need another visit with the doctor and something else to be sure it s not serious. I am not sure.
Rudiger has started 32 times in the…

Former Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola has been named as Watford s new manager on a two-year contract.
The announcement comes as little surprise after new owner Giampaolo Pozzo announced on Monday that the Italian would take charge of the Championship outfit following a verbal agreement with the 46-year-old.
The club sacked Sean Dyche, who had been in charge of the club since June 2011 and managed to lead the club to their highest finish in five seasons (11th), last week to pave the way for Zola s arrival.
Zola has two years managerial experience at the top level, having been West Ham boss from 2008-10 when they were in the Premier League, where they have just returned.
He was praised for an attractive style of football at the east London club, while also b…
