Probably not a surprise to PC gamers, but 2K Games, Gearbox Software and Valve have announced an agreement to power all PC versions of Borderlands 2 with Steamworks when the game launches on September 18, 2012 in North America.
Borderlands 2 players will make use of many Steamworks features, including Steam Achievements, downloadable content, auto-updating, multiplayer matchmaking, Steam Cloud support and more.
Customers who purchase the PC retail version of Borderlands 2 will be able to make use of the Steamworks features as well.
Currently in development by Gearbox Software, Borderlands 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed four-player cooperative shooter-looter that combined intense first-person mayhemwithrole-playing gameplay.
Borderlands 2 features all-new characters and skills, imaginative and diverse new environments with unique missions and enemies, and more exciting, fun weapons, equipment and loot than ever before. All of these features come together in a story that takes players to the world of Pandora to take down the notorious Handsome Jack and his corrupt Hyperion Corporation as a solo campaign or with up to four cooperative players.
