Borderlands 2 will launch in the US on September 18 and internationally on September 21.

Fans who pre-order the title from participating retailers will get access to the 'Borderlands 2 Premiere Club', netting them a number of bonus in-game items, which are detailed below.
2K said the Gearbox developed PS3, Xbox 360 and PC game will be "bigger, better and more badass" than its excellent predecessor. According to the press release:

Borderlands 2 features all-new characters; skills; imaginative, diverse new environments with unique missions and enemies; and more exciting and fun weapons, equipment and loot than ever before. All of these features come together in a story that takes players to the world of Pandora to take down the notorious Handsome Jack and his corrupt Hyperion Corporation as a solo campaign or with up to four cooperative players.

Borderlands 2 will allow friends to play together locally via split-screen, as well as online with drop-in-drop-out capabilities. With seamless cooperative gameplay and action, Borderlands 2 is extremely accessible for gamers and their friends to play alone or together in a variety of configurations.

"Borderlands 2 is a passion project, through and through," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "The result is a sequel that has improved every successful aspect of Borderlands while innovating with an all-new experience."

Gamers who pre-order Borderlands 2 from participating retailers will gain access to the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club, allowing them to download the Gearbox Gun Pack, a Golden Key and the Vault Hunter's Relic. The Gearbox Gun Pack is a collection of unique guns to help players begin their journey on Pandora. The Golden Key is an in-game item used to unlock a rare item in the mysterious Golden Sanctuary Loot Chest found in Borderlands 2. The Vault Hunter's Relic is an in-game item that boosts players' gear-hunting fortune while playing solo or teaming up with friends

Got to finish the DLC for the first one but one of the best games I've played in a long time. I liked it so much I played it on PS3 and 360 going through the story at least a half dozen times. Probably could have helped that GS a lot if I hadn't gotten so hooked.

Borderlands 2 will probably be the first game I ever pre-order.

I normally do not pre-order but this is a must have for me, especially with the vault key. I can only imagine the guns are in there maybe like general Knoxxs armoury, plus the bonus weapons.

When it comes out every other game will just be left in a pile for me, it's the only game I am actually constantly thinking about. The new characters will I still have my precious sniping hunter, or try a different style? All those new guns i will probably spend as much time farming weapons as playing the game lolI can't wait

Reading about this yesterday got me started again. I played through almost the entire General Knox DLC. 2 or 3 missions to go for the last achievement in that dlc then on to the only one I dont care for Moxi
