Borderlands is a sci-fi FPS-RPG (like Fallout 3) from Gearbox that features four player online co-op multiplayer. It’s set for release in October 2009 on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Borderlands allows for multiple players to share the same game experience simultaneously online in co-op gameplay. Players can freely join or leave each other’s games at anytime, or choose to play in the full single-player mode. The game also boasts lifelike character animations, impressive real-time physics, and customizable vehicles. It also promises millions of different weapons in the game.

The Borderlands are reborn with endless opportunities. This E3 2009 trailer shows off the beautiful new art direction with controversial cel-shaded graphics.
