It's official! 2K Games has announced that Borderlands 2 is currently in development at Gearbox Software with a release set for sometime during the publisher's 2013 fiscal year (April 2012 - March 2013).

Borderlands 2 will once again bring together 4-player RPG shooting and looting, along with all-new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment, as well as an "ambitiously crafted" story which promises to reveal "secrets, and escalate mysteries of the Borderlands universe" as players adventure across unexplored new areas of Pandora.

More details are expected to appear in the upcoming September issue of GameInformer, as well as a first look at Gamescom 2011 and PAX later this month.

Oh, we can't wait!
