The official announcement we've all been waiting for.

That's right folks, the news most of the gaming world has been waiting for has just arrived. Gearbox Software have now officially announced Borderlands 2 is well into development, and will be playable at Gamescon 2011 in Cologne, Germany.

We've heard talk from Gearbox before about the sequel, but nothing was ever officially announced.

Gearbox summed up Borderlands 2 with the following :

Borderlands 2 features all new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment, which come together in an ambitiously crafted story. Players will reveal secrets, and escalate mysteries of the Borderlands universe as they adventure across the unexplored new areas of Pandora.Currently no images have been released of the upcoming RPG/FPS cross, but we will certainly bring them to you when they do. We're led to believe the first images of the game will appear in September's Game Informer with Borderlands 2 making the cover:

No release date has been announced, but we've been informed it will release in the fiscal year starting April 2012.

I still haven't finished even the main game of the first, much less the DLC, and I'm still excited as hell about this.

I personally can't wait for this. The 1750 was a bit of a grind on the first, but fun for the most part. Just a shame it's so far away.

Not surprising as the first game was so good. Always nice to have confirmation though!
