Incredible Borderlands 2 Trailer Features Wub, Reveals September 18 Release

Published on February 22, 2012, by Tovan - Posted in Hot, Main, News, Videos 15

At long last, Gearbox Software has finally announced a release date for the highly anticipated Borderlands 2. In an amazing new trailer that was just released, it was officially revealed that the upcoming first-person shooter will launch on September 18, 2012.

The trailer itself is filled with everything you would expect from a Borderlands game – lots of guns, familiar characters, and an illegal amount of dubstep.

Evidently, the four playable characters – Salvador, Maya, Axton, and Zero – will be squaring off against a man named Handsome Jack. Color me intrigued, Gearbox.

Aww yeahhh. Far Cry 3 and Borderlands 2 both for a September release. Shieeeeet. And they both have overused dubstep in their trailers. :|

As far as I'm concerned, overused dubstep totally works for Borderlands. If Claptrap doesn't become a wub wub machine, Gearbox will have failed.

That it does. Knowing Gearbox, I wouldn't be surprised if they did that to Claptrap.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Nero!

Looking pretty good! I see it's using the same visual style, which might be good or bad, depending on your point of view.

Gotta wonder though if Far Cry 3 will be as full of missed potential as Far Cry 2 was. Hard to trust Ubisoft these days. Especially if you're on the PC.

Very much looking forward to Borderlands 2 however. Had so much fun in co-op in the first one.

I still have yet to play the first Borderlands.

If you have someone who will do co-op with you, jump on it.

14 days earlier and it would have been free since it's on my birthday. DAMMIT!

This just looks amazing, cannot wait to get it! Also the wubwub claptrap made me laugh.

All I have to say is I hope this lovely slice of heaven is seen a lot in the game!

Maya is basically a redefined Lilith with more powers? This pleases me.

Dang it all ... this game can't come out fast enough.

Dubstep Claptrap made the video amazing

Really excited for this. It's going to be even harder choosing a character this time around.
