2K Games has announced that their upcoming shooter, Borderlands 2, will ship with Steamworks functionality for the PC version of the title. Â In the recent press release for the game, 2K and Gearbox had this to say about the additional and always welcome feature that integrates with Steam.
“Borderlands 2 players will enjoy the benefits of Steamworks features, such as Steam Achievements, downloadable content, auto-updating, multiplayer matchmaking, steam cloud support and more.”  Most AAA titles that arrive on Steam get this treatment, and it’s not much of  a surprise for the game to include these features.
Borderlands 2, sequel to the critically acclaimed and best selling role-playing-shooter hybrid, once again delivers its unique flavor, characters and addictive nonstop collaborative loot-shoot gameplay. As in the original game, Borderlands 2 features an openworld game environment, but this time around the world players experience is larger and packed with more depth at all levels. The game features an all-new cast of characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons, and equipment that come together in a carefully crafted and connected story. Make new friends, arm them to the teeth and fight alongside them on a relentless quest for revenge and redemption through the undiscovered and unpredictable living world of Pandora.
Borderlands 2 will release across multiple platforms this fall. Â Arriving on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, Borderlands 2 will arrive on September 18th.
