“Tara recently got a chance to play the just-announced Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and came away with a ton thoughts on the new characters (Athena, Wilhelm, Nisha and “Fragtrap”, the militarized Claptrap), plus the new low-gravity environments, oxygen-based jetpack system, and everything else you can imagine. Onward!”
Appears the abilities and powers of the characters have been developed from the ground up instead of trying to reassign same skills of the vault hunters to these characters. The freezing element and laser guns looks awesome! According to the video it will be scheduled for a Fall 2014 release for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
