So a new Borderlands game was announced a few days ago, Borderlands the Pre Sequel. Set to take place between Borderlands 1 and Borderlands 2. It will use the same engine used to run Borderlands 2, but isn't being developed by Gearbox this go around... it will be developed by 2K Australia. It will show Jack's side of the story and his rise to power and will take place on what I assume could only be the moon that Jack deems the moon of Hyperion. You will begin the game as henchmen of Handsome Jack. Jack himself will have "morally good intentions" at the beginning of the story, but will slowly transform into the "horrific, evil villain he is in Borderlands 2 that seems to have enjoyed cutting people's eyeballs out with a spoon." Pitchford stated that the game's plot would explore how villains "can be morally ambiguous, doing possibly bad things for the right reasons and then have that reflect what [Handsome Jack] is doing. There are several quests in the game where literally the only narrative purpose they exist for is to show you that the bad guy you're fighting is not actually a horrible person."

It will feature new classes and bring back some older characters

Athena - "A Gladiator" - the Rogue assassin from Atlas Corporation and also the character you meet during General Knoxx addon.

Wilheim - "Enforcer" - Pre Cyborg (I assume you will see him become the cyborg we fought in Borderlands 2)

Nisha - "Lawbreaker" - Sheriff of Lynchwood; Jack's Girlfriend

Claptrap - "Fragtrap" - Will be the INAC Claptrap from Borderlands/the last Claptrap of his kind from Borderlands 2 (I can only assume Jack gets upset with Claptrap and kills the rest of his kind)

will be 2 new forms of weapons; cryogenic and laser based weaponry.

will continue for XBOX 360, PS3, and PC USers

Looks interesting. Not sure if I'll get it for the 360 or the PC.

I've made it my goal to get 100% on any borderlands game. I've done so with Borderlands 1 and Borderlands 2. These are the only games that, too me, make the grind of doing normal tasks... fun...

Long story short, I will most likely be getting this game

Went ahead and did the preorder for the 360 yesterday. Though it's going to be interesting with DA:I and this coming out the very next week. Oy.
