‘Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel’ Reveals New Character Trailer and Achievements; Steamworks Support Added

October will bring in "Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel." But before the newest crazy shooter from 2K Australia and Gearbox Software makes its debut, the developer has released a new dev diary to show off the playable characters and their skills, attacks and classes.

"It's about reflecting people as they are in the world. Initially, when we built this universe, it's gotta be diverse. It's gotta be interesting. It's gotta be culturally diverse, because culture is something we adore," Matt Strong, franchise director, said in the dev diary.

Check out how the team had tried to work out the characters that they have included in the new title, as well as the way that each character was shaped into who they will be. Just beware of surprising spoilers that the team may drop when you check out the dev diary below.
