Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Gamescom Last Hope Trailer

Claptrap shows off his skills at Gamescom in the "Last Hope" trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!

The catchy song from the trailer is "Come with Me Now" by the Kongos.

If you looked carefully, you will have noticed Claptrap showing off several different action skills including one where he transforms into a little pirate ship, and one where he grows wings like a Siren. Perhaps his action skill is random?

If you blinked, you may have missed an appearance by Roland and Lilith. It is worth going through the trailer again and pausing a few times. So far, the game is looking like a worthy followup. It has the personality that fans have come to expect.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be available in the US on October 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Moon Dance Trailer

2K Games has released the newest trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel featuring face lasers, argyle weapons, crazy new vehicles, and moon dancing!

Good to see the series sense of humor kept intact. Fans of the previous games should feel right at home with this new iteration. Those who preorder the game will receive the DLC Shock Drop Slaughter Pit.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled to release on October 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Athena the Gladiator Gameplay Video

2K Games recently announced Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for the PC and last-gen consoles. Taking place before Borderlands 2, the new game is developed by 2K Australia, as opposed to Gearbox, the developer for the first two games. Nonetheless, 2K promises the same great gameplay and sense of humor from previous iterations, but with some noted additions to gameplay such as freeze guns and low gravity.

There will be four characters/classes to choose from, all of which were non-playable characters from previous Borderlands games. The main characters include Athena "the Gladiator," Hyperion engineer Wilhelm "the Enforcer," Lynchwood sheriff Nisha "the Lawbringer," and the funny little robot, Claptrap "the Fragtrap."

Each character will have their own abilities which you can customize as they level up.

2K Games and IGN released a 15-minute Athena demo to show off what gamers can expect from the new gameplay mechanics. Check it out below!

The game certainly seems to be shaping up quite nicely. The gameplay is familiar, but the new mechanics are interesting and could help keep things fresh. The only potential downside could be the oxygen tank system, which looks like it could hamper adventuring. Otherwise, additions like ice and laser-based weapons look like fun.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled to release later this year for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
