2K Games has officially announced a sequel for one of the best-selling new IPs of 2009, Borderlands. Gearbox Software's FPS-RPG blend will once again come to Xbox 360s, PS3s, and PCs when Borderlands 2 is released at some point between April 1st 2012 and March 31st 2013 (2K Games has only revealed a release window of the 2013 financial year at this stage).
2K Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive has made no bones in the past about its plans to develop Borderlands into a series, so today's announcement doesn't come as much of a surprise – it was largely a case of when rather than if.
Details on the sequel are thin on the ground at the moment, although new weapons, characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons, and equipment have all been promised. While the planet of Pandora will be returning as the game's location, we're assured that there are going to be plenty of unexplored new areas.
2K Games will be publicly showing Borderlands 2 at the Gamescom convention in Cologne, Germany later this month, followed shortly after by a showing at PAX Prime in the US at the end of August.
