2K and Gearbox Software today announced Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, bringing the series to next-gen consoles for the first time and offering the complete story of the franchise’s most iconic villain, Handsome Jack.
The Handsome Collection includes Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel a long with all of the downloadable content for both titles over £180 of value on prior gen consoles, but now with the high performance and graphical fidelity of next-gen consoles for only £49.99.
The Handsome Collection will launch in North America on 24th March, and internationally on 27th March, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
For the first time on a console, players can experience Borderlands 2 and/or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel in HD – looking better than ever before. With The Handsome Collection, Borderlands fans can also continue their adventure right where they left off by transferring their saved files to the next-gen consoles with new cross-save functionality.
After hours of shooting-n-looting in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on prior gen consoles, players can carry their leveled-up characters and Badass Rank over to The Handsome Collection. Additionally, up to four players can play together on a single television with four-player split screen – another first for the franchise.
“The Handsome Collection gives players the opportunity to experience the full arc of Handsome Jack’s rise and fall, from his not-so-humble beginnings on Elpis to becoming the tyrannical Hyperion CEO on Pandora, all in one value-packed bundle,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “This collection marks the Borderlands franchise’s official move to the next-gen platforms, and we’re proud to offer our fans the ability to continue playing with the characters they’ve built as they carry on adventuring in The Handsome Collection.”
