If you pre-order Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, you will receive some bonus content in the form of The Shock Drop Slaughter Pit add-on, in which gamers will gather loot in a former Dahl facility on Pandora’s moon for TR4-NU. TR4-NU is a new character for the Borderlands universe. He was a military recruiter, but snapped at some point.

2K Australia’s Tony Lawrence released a brief statement alongside the release date announcement:

"“We can’t wait for fans to play as Athena, Wilhelm, Nisha and Claptrap and experience the new low-gravity gunplay with awesome new guns”"

What will be interesting to see is how well a Borderlands game that isn’t a full-fledged sequel will perform. We’ve seen prequels to franchises like God of War and Gears of War come out and receive a pretty lukewarm response. Add that in to an already jam packed October full of huge games and even a big release like Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel might get lost in the shuffle. Check out the new trailer below:
