Borderlands 2 Box Art Kind of Lackluster

March 2, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

It’s not as cool as the original game’s box art.

RETRACTION: We’ve been informed by Gearbox that the ‘box art’ is a placeholder. The final version has not yet been released.

Borderlands 2 is set for a September release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. In Borderlands 2, players can team up in groups of four to participate in gun-toting mayhem on the internet.

Like the first game, it also has a unique art style with box art to reflect that. No box art comes close to being as cool as the one for the original Borderlands, which featured a raider making a gun gesture at his head.

The game's sequel, Borderlands 2, doesn't offer anything as cool. The box cover features instead one of the douchey-looking main characters holding up the decapitated head of a raider.

We're not really feeling this one, Gearbox.

The box art might not be much to look at, but players can expect to participate in a much more fleshed out game thanks to the integration of Steamworks for multiplayer on the PC and better lobbies on the console. Borderlands 2 offers players millions of procedurally generated weapons and items to deck themselves out with, bringing the experience of Diablo to an FPS.
