The scavenger enemies on the moon have thick Australian accents, and there are plenty of Australia-related jokes. 2K Australia started work on the game around the March 2013 release of BioShock Infinite, which it helped create. In Borderlands 2 Wilhelm is the giant robot boss enemy who works for Handsome Jack, but in The Pre-Sequel he is a human who becomes more and more cybernetic as you fill out his skill tree.īorderlands: The Pre-Sequel was developed by 2K Australia, based in Canberra, in a co-production with Gearbox in Dallas, Texas. During the demo we got a good look at Athena as well as Wilhelm. Enemies also wear oxygen helmets if you shoot them the enemy can't breath and takes damage. In combat you can blow enemies off of the moon because of the low gravity. In the mission shown to press Handsome Jack wants you to destroy a jamming system that's blocking a communications signal from travelling from the moon's surface to the space station - all the while the space station, under enemy control, is blasting the moon to bits. Your Oz kit can add elemental damage to the ground pound move, perhaps freezing enemies on impact, or generating a temporary oxygen bubble. When you're airborne, if you tap the crouch button you slam into the ground, doing damage to enemies. You can use this strategically to enable elemental damage, such as fire, during combat. Te replenish it, you can loot oxygen as you would ammo, or activate an oxygen generator, which creates a small breathable environment around it.

Oxygen also fuels your jetpack, which lets you double jump to cover large distances, but using your jetpack consumes oxygen quicker. There's also low gravity, so you can perform floaty jumps. A new HUD element shows your oxygen count, which must be maintained. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so you need oxygen to breath. A new weapon type is the laser, which fires everything from Star Wars-esque blaster beams to huge, constant rays that rekindle memories of the Proton Pack weapon from Ghostbusters. From here you can blow enemies into ice shards, which float away in the low gravity on the moon's surface. The Cryo effect means you are, essentially, shooting ice bullets, slowing enemies down and eventually freezing them. The Pre-Sequel adds new elemental effects and weapon types. The Wrath of the Goddess ability lets her throw the Aspis shield at multiple enemies at once, Captain America style. Her Prepare for Glory ability is a taunt. This tank class can raise a giant shield to absorb damage, then throw the shield at her enemies. When playing as Claptrap the camera is set lower in a GoldenEye Oddjob kind of way, but he has upgraded abilities that make up for it, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford told press at a recent reveal event seen by Eurogamer.Īthena's active ability is the Kinetic Aspis. This is the Claptrap first encountered at the beginning of Borderlands 1 and the last surviving Claptrap unit during Borderlands 2. The characters are Athena The Gladiator, who was a Crimson assassin from The Secret Armory of General Knoxx expansion to Borderlands 1 Wilhelm The Enforcer, who was the first big boss encounter in Borderlands 2 Nisha The Lawbringer, known as The Sheriff of Lynchwood in Borderlands 2 and finally, you get to play as Claptrap the Fragtrap. You play one of four new characters who work for Handsome Jack before he becomes CEO of Hyperion. It takes place on the moon and the Hyperion space station that orbit the planet of Pandora, and tells the story of the rise to power of Borderlands 2 villain Handsome Jack. The next game in Gearbox's loot-obsessed, RPG shooter series, which was revealed earlier this week via a leak, is a standalone experience set between Borderlands 1 and Borderlands 2.
