Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel announced

A sequel to the first game and a prequel to the second game = pre-sequel. Playable claptrap and we finally get an ice element!

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes place between the first and second games in the series. Witness Handsome Jack's rise to power as you play as Athena, Wilhelm, The Sheriff, or Claptrap.

So it looks like Borderlands is not immune to the "ship it off to another studio for a quick follow up while you work on the next-next version" disease. Obviously I'm not a fan of this, but the stuff in the video looks alright and it's on PC so it's next-gen for me. No love for PS4/XBone users is a surprise though.

The game will be released "later" in 2014.

I'm honestly surprised by how Gearbox is letting 2k Australia work on this game while they are focusing on their next title. I Can't wait to actually get my hands on this game when it comes out later this year (if I'm not too preoccupied with games such as SSB Wii U and Mario Kart 8).

Time to get a PC Arthvader. I'm somewhat interested in this. It doesn't look that bad. Hopefully the character classes are more interesting, other than the trash class Claptrap. (just for sales) Also the drop system has to be different. It has to be WAAAAAY better than B2.

@goukijones I wish I could get a better PC, but I'm just going to stick to playing this on the 360, like I have with the first two. (Heck, I'm still playing BL2 almost everyday now, reaching OP levels with my assassin). One of the things I'm interested in is the new elements that's being added, as well as using Athena as my main. I also hope the loot drop system is better than BL2.
