Fan-favorite sci-fi shooter “Borderlands 2” will make the jump to
virtual reality with “Borderlands 2 VR” launching on the
PlayStation VR this December.

“Borderlands 2” has remained one of the most popular first-person
shooters on PC since its release in 2012, with fans making all
sorts of modifications to the cooperative campaign that allowed
up to four players. 

By incorporating virtual reality, “Borderlands 2 VR” will bring
players closer to the action with a larger field of vision and
the ability to look around with the PlayStation VR headset. For
example, you could be shooting straight ahead at an enemy but
then turn your head to make sure nothing is sneaking up behind
you.

The game can be controlled using a combination of real-time
aiming and a standard PlayStation controller, and there’s at
least some form of support for the PlayStation Move motion
controllers. Players in VR will have access to a new abilities
too, letting them slow down time to take better aim during fire
fights, or teleport to quickly change position in the world.
However, the virtual reality experience will only allow for
single-player campaigns.

The original “Borderlands 2” was already ported to the
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2015 as a part of “Borderlands: The
Handsome Jack Collection.” However, “Borderlands 2 VR” appears to
be exclusive to PSVR for the time being. 

There’s currently no word as to whether “Borderlands 2 VR” will
include the original game’s large library of expansion content,
which includes extra character classes and hours of side
quests. “Borderlands 2 VR” launches on the PlayStation VR on
December 14 for $49.99.
