Borderlands 3 is touching down on Friday, and there's a new cinematic trailer you can take in to get hype for the upcoming game.

The Vault Hunters take on a band of Psychos as well as the Calypso Twins to Queen's "Seven Seas of Rhye" in the new footage of Borderlands 3, which is just as flashy as the rest of the Borderlands trailers have been. You're welcome. Now you don't have to tirelessly look for the song title and artist. 

There's not much longer to go until you can pick up the game now, so make sure you jump into the previous games to brush up on your Psycho-shooting skills. There's going to be a slew of new content coming to the game, including True Vault Hunter Mode, Mayhem Mode and Guardian Rank too, so even when you finish Borderlands 3 you're still going to have a ton to sift through.

Josh Hawkins reviewed the game at Shacknews, awarding it a 9 out of 10. Here's what he had to say about it:

"The Borderlands formula might be a bit dated with its raunchy jokes and cheesy dialogue, but that doesn’t change that it is a formula that keeps reeling players back in again and again. Despite the fact that I’ve already logged over 40 hours in the game, I still can't help but feel the want to dive back in with a new character just to experience it all again. But beating the campaign doesn’t bring the story to an end. There’s still plenty of great content to devour after that final boss fight, including True Vault Hunter mode, and plenty of great side quests featuring some of the best characters ever found in the series. Whether you’re an old fan who has played all the previous games, or a brand-new fan just diving into the series, Borderlands 3 is an absolute masterpiece that will bring you hours upon hours of fun."

Borderlands 3 is set to debut on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on September 13.
