Borderlands 2

Gearbox Software will release a sequel to Borderlands sometime next year, according to a report from Eurogamer.

A source close to the project told the website the game is coming to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that an official announcement is expected soon.

Gearbox officials declined to comment on the report.

Publisher Take-Two/2K Games has hinted previously that fans can expect more Borderlands titles in the future.

"We have long term publishing rights to sequels of Borderlands and expect this to become a key franchise for Take-Two," said then CEO Ben Feder during a 2009 earnings call.

Sure hope they fixed the shitty driving mechanics! I liked borderlands but you had to play it with other people otherwise it was kinda boring.

Yep solo it was really boring. But a complete 180 co-op.

(shrugs) I had fun with solo and was having fun with solo until I decided to play co-op with a friend instead. We beat the game co-op and it was a lot of fun.

As for the driving, I thought the driving was perfectly fine.

I hope they actually expand more on the RPG mechanics of the game because there's definitely more to be done there. That, and it was basically pointless to use anything but the SMGs because of how overpowered they were compared to other guns (plus, the SMGs had a MUCH higher chance of getting the x3 and x4 effect procs than the other guns).

Borderlands 2 is bumpin' up the brutality with new details, courtesy of the latest issue of GameInformer. Co-op will remain four-player, but the enemy and NPC AI has been revved to support a more interactive environment, with friendlies offering dialogue and bandits carrying weapons unique to their class. Eridium, a new element, will serve as currency and a means of upgrading weapons and vehicles, we assume by duct-taping it to whichever item you wish to improve.

The original Borderlands characters will be NPCs in the Gearbox sequel, but we do have a small amount of details on a new character, the dwarf Salvador, who is pictured above. A Gunzerker, Salvador will be able to dual-wield any weapon, all while sporting a sweet beard. Borderlands 2 will use all new weapons, each designed to fit the personalities of their in-game manufacturers, and the story will feature dynamic missions, making factors such as time critical to your success.

Borderlands 2 is expected to launch in Take-Two's fiscal year 2013, which begins April 1, 2012. But most importantly, Claptrap will be back, we hope with some new dance moves.

I'm ready!

[morsdraconis]

Interesting. Wait more for an idea of what the character classes are like. If the RPG element isn't a bit more involved, I might not be interested.

This was a blast co-op. Can only imagine how much they improved on the original.
