First Borderlands 2 Trailer Released; Introduces Gunzerker Class

To coincide with the kick-off of the Gamescom show in Cologne, Germany, Gearbox has released the first trailer for its upcoming Borderlands 2 game, set to see a release in 2012. In the span of this 30 second trailer, we’re introduced to one of the new classes, Gunzerker, and get a taste of what it’s capable of. With its dual-wield weapons capabilities, a lot of havoc is waiting to be wreaked.

Some hints of the new areas to explore around Pandora are also shown, including an icy wonderland and large grassy field. It’s hard to get a real feel for things given all of the explosions and ass-kicking that’s going on, but this trailer does well to whet our appetites for more.
