Borderlands 2 Completed, Gearbox Shifts To DLC

Gearbox's highly-anticipated RPG/shooter has been finalized. Today the company announced that all the game's on-disc content is finished and the game is ready for certification. As Gearbox puts it, "In other words, the game is finished and we cannot make any further changes to the game."

"As such, the team is now shifting their focus towards post-launch efforts," the statement on Gearbox's website read, "including the Mechromancer: the new character class that will be released as free downloadable content to members of the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club roughly 60 to 90 days after launch."

To become a member of the the Borderlands Premiere Club, you must pre-order the game. For more details, click here.

Borderlands 2 releases on September 18 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

  • I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!! That is all.
  • Ugh. This or ACIII? Not to mention I've got to put funds together for Ni No Kuni's Wizard Edition. Damn the expensiveness of cars, lol.
  • 60 to 90 days after launch, eh? Ah, who am I kidding, I'll still be playing it.

    Also, nice pun in the title, Matt. "Gearbox Shifts."
  • September 18th is the day i remove myself from the outside world to play the hell out of borderlands 2

  • After buying Skyrim during Steam's summer sale at 50% off, I have no time left for this game. What a bummer.
  • Can't wait! You know, you actually should follow my advice of buying this game.
  • YES!! They should make a DLC where you play as Psychos and wait for the heroes to come to your outpost where you handily get your ass handed to you.....then respawn and do it all over again!

  • *Cue comments complaining about DLC planned already*
  • Two more months, then I get to run around as Grey Fox's cell-shaded cousin.

  • good, I just beat borderlands one... right on time :)
  • Yay! Early release? :p

  • no longer interested in borderlands,don't know why.
  • now all i have to do is wait...two months....
  • I have to pre-order this game ASAP next to No Ni Kumi: Wrath of the White Witch-Wizard Collection set. So expensive.

  • I absolutely loved Borderlands, despite it's flaws. They seemed to have fixed all these flaws in 2, i can't wait :P Too bad all these great games come out in fall, just when i'm supposed to be getting into the school schedule and working hard. xD

  • *In Frank West voice* "FANTASTIC!"

  • Many people complain about DLC that releases soon after the game does, but now they're educating people that when a game goes Gold they can't work on the game, so they start working on DLC that sometimes finishes earlier then planned so it releases during launch, also this isn't on disc DLC so its totally fine also, glad they took the time to explain this to us and to the people who aggro when hearing about DLC :3
  • While I'm glad the game is done, I also hope the DLC is good.

  • Awesome sauce
