Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox has confirmed that a Game of the Year Edition is coming soon.
The announcement comes just days after GameStop let it leak that the a GOTY Edition was on its way.
“For us and for fans, the love for Borderlands 2 has been nothing short of spectacular, so it’s natural for us here at Gearbox Software to want everyone else to have a chance to experience the best-selling game and its most valuable expansion content,” said Gearbox president Randy Pitchford .
“The Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition offers more value than ever before in one package, giving everyone an opportunity to become a legendary Vault Hunter, and join in the award winning mayhem and fun.”
The Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition will launch October 8 in North America and October 11 internationally. For $59.99, players will get over $100 worth of content, including all four campaign add-ons and both added classes. The GOTY Edition will also include the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack.
The four campaign add-ons are:
- Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty,
- Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage
- Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt
- Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep
The two added classes are:
- Gaige the Mechromancer
- Krieg the Psycho
This isn’t the only big announcement for Borderlands 2 . The game will also be released for the PlayStation Vita in 2014 .
“For the last year, Gearbox Software, 2K, and PlayStation have been inundated with emails, tweets, forum posts and more from passionate gamers across the world pleading for a PS Vita version of Borderlands 2,” Gearbox product manager Adam Fletcher said. “You spoke, we listened, and with the wonderful collaboration between 2K, PlayStation and the team at Iron Galaxy Studios – makers of indie fighting game Divekick – we can finally make Borderlands 2 on PS Vita a reality!”
The announcement was made shortly after Sony confirmed that the PS Vita would be dropping in price to $199 in North America.
Gearbox also announced that the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 will raise the Borderlands 2 level cap to 72. That upgrade will be available for $5 on September 3.
