In news that is unlikely to shock many, 2K Australia and Gearbox Software have today announced that Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be heading to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as remastered editions.
The pair of titles has created the aptly named The Handsome Collection, and progress from past-gen consoles will be carried over as to not hamper your enjoyment.
If you've been playing Borderlands 2 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or Vita, you can move your character progress and badass rank to the current-gen system in the same family. The same goes for The Pre-Sequel (though not on Vita, because it isn't on that system).
The Handsome Collection also sports four-player split-screen for the first time and both games will run at 1080p and up to 60 frames per second. In four-player split-screen mode, target frame rate is 30 frames per second.
Both titles will come with all announced DLC. For The Pre-Sequel, this includes the remaining two pieces of the season pass that have yet to be detailed. We now know they are a campaign add-on and another character.
In addition to the standard edition, diehard fans might be interested in the collector’s edition retailing at $499.95. The Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition comes with a steelbook case, twelve lithographs (one for each vault hunter), and a remote-controlled Claptrap. Yes, your very own controlled claptrap.
The Claptrap model is fully operational and rolls on a single wheel. It has a camera in its eye and connects to an iPhone ClaptrApp so you can control it and see what it sees. These are limited to 5,000 units, so if you want one, you’re going to need to move quickly.
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection will be available on March 26th in Australia and New Zealand, for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
