Oh boy… oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy… One of my most favouritest games series ever from Gearbox Software has just had a new title confirmed. Hot off the Gearbox Staff press site we can look forward to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel coming later on in the year on Xbox 360.
If, like me, you have spent more time on Pandora than you would care to remember then this announcement will fill you full of excitement as we wait to see just what is in store in this forthcoming chapter. Gearbox have given a little bit away in their press release but expect a ton more stuff to come knowing their previous track record. Whatever is coming, it’s sure to be entertaining and a little bit off the wall from what they’re introducing to us below.
The wait is finally over for a new game in the Borderlands universe! We’re launching you to Pandora’s moon for the first time in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, currently being co-developed by Gearbox Software and 2K Australia, and available on Xbox 360 later this fall.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Set between Borderlands and Borderlands 2, you’ll play as four all-new character classes fighting alongside Handsome Jack, witnessing his transformation into the ruthless tyrant you loved to hate in Borderlands 2, and assisting with the rise of the Hyperion Corporation. The signature shoot ‘n’ loot gameplay of the Borderlands series expands with the addition of low-gravity and oxygen-powered jetpack combat, the icy ‘Cryo’ elemental damage type, the deadly laser weapon class, and new vehicles to help you explore the diverse lunar landscape.
The four new playable character classes are all familiar faces from the Borderlands universe: Athena the Gladiator (The Secret Armory of General Knoxx), Wilhelm the Enforcer (the robotic badass of Borderlands 2), Nisha the Lawbringer (The Sheriff of Lynchwood in Borderlands 2), and yes, even Claptrap the Fragtrap (from just about everywhere… unfortunately).
Bonus: Those attending PAX East this weekend will be able to get a first-hand look at Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel at the 2K booth!
