Borderlands 2 Announced August 16, 2011

The sequel to Gearbox Software’s highly popular sleeper hit of 2010 has been announced!

Borderlands took gameplay mechanics from other games that came before it, and put it’s own spin on those, with an art style all its own.  It’s popularity increased tenfold when the Game of the Year Edition of the game was released, which bundled together the four DLC packs of the game along with access to the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club at a reduced price.

The teaser trailer for the game doesn’t show much, but Gearbox has said they plan to do away with the random gun pickups of the original, and instead will have guns with set statistics from various manufacteres in the sequel.

Borderlands 2 is coming in 2010.
