'Borderlands: The Handsome Collection' (ALL) Announced - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 20, 2015 @ 8:58 a.m. PST

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection brings Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel to next-gen consoles by offering the complete story of the franchise’s most iconic villain, Handsome Jack.

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.”


Borderlands: The Handsome Collection includes all previously released DLC for both titles, and will be available for $59.99

The Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Claptrap-in-a-Box Editionwill include everything in The Handsome Collection as well as a remote controlled Claptrap steward robot, a collectible steel case, and 12 exclusive lithographs. The Claptrap steward robot is controlled through a smartphone app and can move in all directions while balancing on one wheel. The Claptrap can also say lines in character and live stream video to a mobile device through his eye. The Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition is limited to only 5,000 units worldwide and is available to pre-order starting today at participating retailers for $399.
