Borderlands 2 Launch Date Announced

The sequel to 2009's excellent Borderlands has landed itself a release date. Gearbox Software confirmed earlier today that Borderlands 2 will be released on the 18th September 2012 in the US and the rest of the world will get it on the 21st September. 


The game returns to the comic-book like cel shaded look which the first one adopted so well, and reportedly focuses more on role playing elements, prompting Gearbox to cite this as a "role playing shooter". 


Like most games nowadays, there are bonuses for pre--ordering Borderlands 2. More information on this can be found via Gearbox's website.
