Next week we’ll finally see 2K Games release Gearbox studio’s new shooter, Borderlands 2. The first borderlands game came out way back in 2009. In video game terms, thats a lifetime ago so you know they’ve been busy with a lot of improvements over the past few years.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, picture a first person shooter game crossed with an action RPG with western themes set in space and you’re starting to get the idea. You and three friends can play co-operative multiplayer as you build your characters. You start off by selecting a character class. Each class has different properties and skills so it can influence your play style. From there you go on quests or complete challenges to gain experience points, money and loot. As you get experience you’ll level up to expand your skill set and grow your character as you see fit.
In the game’s story five years have passed since we last left Pandora when the vault hunters exposed the Eridian Vault’s secrets. Now we find that Handsome Jack has claimed all that wealth and credit, using it to take over the whole Hyperion corporation and becoming the virtual ruler of all Pandora. It's up to you and your gang of vault hunters to stop him, bring him down, and save Pandora and its colonist population.
The game uses a heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 3 with a distinctive cell shaded aesthetic. It's available to pre-order now at Future Shop for both the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 video game consoles as well as PC. The game hits shelves next week on September 18th. Theres also an Ultimate Loot chest Limited Edition of Borderlands 2 available for preorder with lots of extra goodies. It's a must-have for Borderlands fans and sure to sell fast so definitely pre-order soon if you want one of those. All Borderlands 2 Pre-orders will receive the Future Shop exclusive Borderlands 2 Steelbook too.
