(1888PressRelease) February 24, 2012 - After the shock results of the 2009 launch, Borderlands, the designers (2K Games and Gearbox Software) have set a Borderlands 2 release date of 18 Sep 2012.

The initial game, a category defining Role Playing Shooter, grew to become a runaway accomplishment with around 4. 5 million games sold thus far and the early mail about the next installment leans in the direction of yet another grand success.

Within the minimal material now available, it seems that all of the facets which made Borderlands a real success should possibly be introduced once again however, also with a bag of different material to ensure that it'll become a new game playing experience.

The cell shaded artwork is going to be back again to convey a distinctive aesthetic experience for the game which is played using four new heroes, only two that have at this point been unveiled. Salvador the Gunzerker is a similar design and style to Brick from the initial game though with the means to wield dual guns whilst Maya the Siren is from the very same fraternity as Lilith, without the Phasewalk capability.

Additional features fresh to the video game are the opposing NPCs (with new AI), four person vehicles, total accessibility to any or all places that will be found, even extra firearms and shields compared to the original, improved equipment improvements, completely fresh skill trees and upgrade paths, all new places (including frozen tundra and the corrosive caverns), unique artifacts and of course, a new premise.

The tale is once more established on the surface of Pandora and takes place five years after the cracking open of the alien vault right at the end of Borderlands. The brand new main antagonist is Handsome Jack who's claimed the kudos for opening the vault and also all of its wealth. This freshly discovered prosperity and power has allowed him to take over Hyperion Corporation that he utilizes for his plan of worldwide industrialization. Your role within this ordeal is as a used and tossed away puppet of Jacks, and from now on you need vengeance.

There were a few criticisms with the initial game with the wash and duplicate type of missions during the one player tasks and the resemblances between all of the landscapes being the main concerns. These seem to have already been resolved with the creators saying a substantially improved selection of quest varieties which include implications for behaviors which could have an effect on the final end result. The array of areas has improved with the pleasant touch included that if you're able to view a region, you can actually eventually investigate that area.

The Borderlands 2 release date on 18 Sep 2012 ought to see owners of PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360 and PC's saving up to go back to Pandora.
