After weeks of rumors, 2K Games and Gearbox Software have finally announced today that the sequel to the extravasplosive breakout hit, Borderlands, is currently in development. Coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and Windows PC during Take-Two’s fiscal year 2013 beginning on April 1, 2012, Borderlands 2 is the epic sequel to the ultimate four-player Role-Playing Shooter loot fest. Combining invention and evolution, Borderlands 2 features all new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment, which come together in an ambitiously crafted story. Players will reveal secrets, and escalate mysteries of the Borderlands universe as they adventure across the unexplored new areas of Pandora.

2K Games and Gearbox Software are taking this show on the road, and fans and media will be able to get their first look at the game at Gamescom 2011 from August 17 – August 21, and at PAX Prime (Booth #3417) from August 26 – August 28.

Strangely enough Darren wrote an article almost a year to date about Ten Things We want in a Borderlands Sequel so if any of this stuff comes true, I guess we can credit Darren.
