Runic Games has also announced the addition of a new - fourth and final - class, the Embermage, joining the previously announced classes, Berserker, Outlander and Engineer.  Embermage is "highly-trained spellcasters renowned for their skill, dedication, and arcane power" according to the official game site.

Borderlands 2 Official

Game Informer's latest issue, covers Borderlands 2

Very quickly after the rumors circulated around a potential Borderlands 2, the developer Gearbox has made the sequel official.  The game will launch during Take-Two's fiscal year 2013, which begins on Apr 01 2012.

"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." 

Gamescom in Germany will release a first look later this month (Aug 17 - 21 2011), and even more will be announced at PAX Prime (Aug 26 - 28 2011).  For now, the latest issue of Game Informer has exclusive first looks at the new title.

Borderlands 2 in 2012?

The sequel to Gearbox's 2009 Borderlands, an artistic styled RPG set on a planet called Pandora, a loot-laden land (also full of lots of bad guys and crazy bad guys), is rumored to be scheduled for a 2012 release.

According to a Eurogamer source, the game is deep in development as we speak and folks from Gearbox have constantly expressed an interest in continuing the franchise (THANK YOU because this has got to be one of my personal favorite games), not to mention the 3 million + copies sold.

Formal announcements are expected soon, perhaps at Gamescom?
