2K's formally announced, after yonks and donkeys of rumour and speculation, that Borderlands 2 is a real thing. Yes it is.

The game, which is on the front cover of the next issue of Game Informer, will be at gamescom in a week-and-a-half, as well as PAX Prime in Seattle.

Being developed by Gearbox - who else -BL2 will have new skills, characters, enemies, weapons, environments and equipment. It's out in Take Two's FY2013 for PS3, 360 and PC. Here's the official website.

It comes as Eurogamer published a report yesterday citing a reveal was about to happen. Indeed it has.
