Sony has announced via its official Twitter account that the new Borderlands 2 PS Vita game will be launching throughout Europe on May 28th, 2014.
Cross-Save Functionality
Gamers already playing Borderlands 2 on their PlayStation 3 consoles will have the ability to Cross-Save their data and continue wherever they go on their handheld PS Vita console. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who want to maintain their progress without being tethered to their home console. Imagine starting a mission on your PS3 and seamlessly continuing it on your PS Vita while commuting or traveling. This level of flexibility enhances the gaming experience, making it more convenient and enjoyable.
Multiplayer and Co-op Features
As well as having the ability to recruit a friend with two-player drop-in/drop-out co-op, players can also choose their class and level up, upgrading their abilities to become more effective vault hunters. The co-op mode allows for a dynamic and engaging multiplayer experience, where teamwork and strategy are key to overcoming challenges. Whether you prefer to play as a Gunzerker, Siren, Commando, or Assassin, the game offers a variety of classes to suit different playstyles. Each class comes with unique skills and abilities, allowing for diverse gameplay and replayability.
Included DLC Packs
Included in the Borderlands 2 PS Vita game are six of the DLC packs previously released on the PS3 version. These include the Psycho Character Class, Mechromancer Character, Collectors Pack Edition, and more. The inclusion of these DLC packs adds significant value to the PS Vita version, offering additional content and gameplay options right out of the box. For instance, the Psycho Character Class introduces Krieg, a melee-focused character with a unique skill tree, while the Mechromancer Character adds Gaige, who can summon a powerful robot companion named Deathtrap.
