A sequel to the hit Borderlands has today been confirmed by 2K Games and Gearbox, with Borderlands 2 expected to arrive sometime between April 2012 and spring 2013. The new Borderlands 2 game will contain all new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons, and equipment for gamers to enjoy.
With the new game also including “an ambitiously crafted story,” say Gearbox, Borderlands 2 will be arriving on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC platforms when launched.
The original Borderlands game was launched back in 2009 and was a surprise hit for Gearbox with its combination RPG and first-person shooter. Together with funky comic-style graphics and gameplay that allowed players to follow many different paths rather than a linear route as with some of today’s new releases, which all helped it be a great success.
New Features and Enhancements
Borderlands 2 promises to build on the success of its predecessor by introducing a host of new features and enhancements. Players can look forward to a more immersive experience with a richer storyline and more complex character development. The new characters will come with unique skill sets that will allow for more varied gameplay styles. This means that whether you prefer to go in guns blazing or take a more strategic approach, there will be a character that suits your playstyle.
The environments in Borderlands 2 are also set to be more diverse and expansive. From arid deserts to lush forests and icy tundras, the game will offer a wide range of settings for players to explore. Each environment will come with its own set of challenges and enemies, making the gameplay experience more dynamic and engaging.
Weapons and Equipment
One of the standout features of the original Borderlands was its extensive arsenal of weapons, and Borderlands 2 is set to take this to the next level. The game will feature an even larger variety of weapons, each with its own unique attributes and abilities. From elemental weapons that can set enemies on fire to high-tech guns with advanced targeting systems, the options will be nearly limitless.
In addition to weapons, players will also have access to a wide range of equipment and gear. This includes everything from shields and grenades to class mods and artifacts that can enhance your character’s abilities. The customization options will allow players to tailor their loadouts to suit their preferred playstyle, adding another layer of depth to the game.
Very little information is currently available for the new game but as always when more information becomes available we will keep you updated. The official Borderlands 2 launch trailer is now available to view.
