Borderlands 2 Dated and Pre-Order Content Revealed

Borderlands 2 Dated and Pre-Order Content Revealed

We need guns. Lots of guns.

The internet just exploded with news that Borderlands 2 is releasing in North America on September 18th and internationally on September 21st. The dates were revealed as part of a brand new trailer entitled 'Doomsday' as seen below.



2K also offered up some pre-order bonus incentives too for those of you who are eager to secure a spot in Pandora. It's a nice looking bundle, and it secures you access into the 'Borderlands 2 Premiere Club'. There's no more info as to what this nets you exactly at the moment, with the press release citing access to 'bonuses' and 'in-game items'. Will it be a DLC access model as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? It remains to be seen:

Pandorians who pre-order Borderlands from participating retailers will receive access to the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club, giving them access to in-game items and bonuses, including the Golden Key (to unlock a rare item in the Sanctuary Loot Chest), the Vault Hunter's Relic (to boost your gear-hunting fortune), and the Gearbox Gunpack (to deck your characters out with unique Gearbox Golden Guns.)

i hope they make the game more enjoyable in the second playthrough, with different decisions you could choose, borderlands 1 was great first time through, then just became tedious second time.

Please tell me that isn't the official box art... pales in comparison to the first game.

I can't wait to see the other playable characters, 'cause this one isn't doing anything for me.

As for the pre-order incentive, I guess we won't know if it's any good until we play the game. If the second is anything like the first in regards to guns, then it certainly won't be much of a motivator. Having said that, pre-order incentives rarely have an impact on whether or not I'm going to buy a game on release day, so anything is better than nothing.

pre-order translated: An Item, a boost the probably allows rarer loot to drop (from the first one we know rare isn't necessarily better) and a skin...

Fairly standard, not enough incentive for a day one for me. As much as I loved the first game, this one isn't doing it for me just yet
