It will definitely take place on the moon of Pandora where Pre-villain Jack needs help to uncrash the Hyperion space station. In Borderlands 2 we heard Handsome Jack telling everyone how he was the hero of the story, and this will be why he thinks that is true.
With the Moon base location we'll be getting a bunch of game-changing mechanics involving oxygen. The oxygen implementation will not only for breathing, but it'll allow for much more in the way of mobility options and even offensive capabilities such as double-jumping, ground pound melee-like attacks/stuns, and air boosts that act like small flight bursts. This will include a new resource slot that works like a grande mod for 02 (or Oz Pack), and alters the effects of the pack you are using.
The weapons variety in loot will be increased by the addition of laser weapons and cryo guns. More loot is always good.
As for the playable characters, all of which are KNOWN by fans...
- Athena, the Gladiator: Uses her Kinetic Aspis, which is a shield that can absorb incoming damage, then convert it back into energy to use against enemies. Athena made her debut in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC for the first Borderlands game.
- Wilhelm, the Enforcer: Wilhelm was previously seen in Borderlands 2 as one of the first deadly bosses in the game.
- Nisha, the Lawbringer: The sheriff of Lynchwood from Borderlands 2, Nisha will be dealing out her own brand of justice, which we'll discuss further in the coming months.
...and last, but not least...
- Claptrap, the Fragtrap: Wait - Claptrap? The goofy robot companion from Borderlands 2, now playable for the first time? Fragtrap is his character class? Well, you can play him too!
The Borderlands Pre-Sequel will be released later this year on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. (No next gen systems sadly)
