Announcing Borderlands The Pre-Sequel - We are going to the moon!

With only two days left before the start of PAX East we have an official announcement.  The Borderlands Pre-Sequel is actually a thing and will be released later in 2014.  It would seem the rumormill is true for once.

Set between Borderlands and Borderlands 2, you'll play as four new characters classes fighting alongside Handsome Jack, witnessing his transformation into the ruthless tyrant you loved to hate in Borderlands 2, and assisting with the rise of the Hyperion Corporation. The signature shoot 'n' loot gameplay of the Borderlands series expands with the addition of low-gravity and oxygen-powered jetpack combat, the icy 'Cryo' elemental damage type, the deadly laser weapon class, and new vehicles to help you explore the lunar landscape.

Yes! we are going to the moon!

Based on the information in the 2K blog the Pre-Sequel started around the time the first DLC was released.  The game engine is exactly the same so all 2K had to do was swap out the assets and create their own story.

Per the Borderlands recipe there will be four playable characters including Athena, Wilhelm, Nisha and Claptrap.  The gameplay will be a little different with low gravity impacting how you move and oxygen coming into play helping with player movement.
