Awesome New ‘Borderlands 2′ Trailer Gives September Release Date [VIDEO]

February 22, 2012 5:56 pm

Gearbox and 2K Games announced Wednesday that the sequel to the popular Borderlands will have a Sept. 18 release date for XBox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in the U.S., and on Sept. 21 internationally.

The new trailer for Borderlands 2 released by 2K Wednesday showed off new playable characters, new skill tree selections, and environments that look radically different from the original game. Borderlands 2 will be a similar style to the original, with RPG character leveling combined with First-Person Shooter elements to make what the developers call a shooter-looter. The game will again be set on the planet Pandora, and should have a similar Western feel to the original, where players pick up quests through non-player characters and bounty boards.

The sequel will also support four-player network multiplayer as it did in the past, as well as split-screen play for local players.

Along with the release date, 2K announced Borderlands Premiere Club will be available to those who preorder the game from retailers. It will include a new Golden Gun Pack, a Vault Hunter’s Relic which will help boost a player’s loot, and a Golden Key that unlocks a mystery in game.

Borderlands was originally released in 2009 for the 360, PS3 and through Steam for Mac and PC. It has sold 4.5 million copies since its release.

The trailer also promises “870 Gazillion more guns,” and features Borderlands mascot/tutorial robot Claptrap dancing to dubstep, so it’s definitely worth a watch to fans of the series.

What do you think of the Borderlands trailer? Let us know in the comments.
