It was ported to the PlayStation Vita on May 13, 2014, and released for Linux on September 30, 2014. As with the first game, ''Borderlands 2'' allows players to complete a campaign consisting of central quests and optional side-missions as one of four treasure seekers, "Vault Hunters", on the planet Pandora. Key gameplay features from the original game, such as online collaborative campaign gameplay; randomly generated loot, such as weapons and shields; and character-building elements commonly found in role-playing video games are in ''Borderlands 2''. The game was well received by critics and was a financial success. Downloadable content for the game has been released, including new characters and storylines. The Game of the Year Edition of the game was released in October 8, 2013 in the U.S. and October 11 internationally, including all the previous downloadable and upgrade packs except for the new campaign. A PlayStation Vita version was released in May 2014, and was developed by Iron Galaxy Studios in collaboration with Gearbox. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports of ''Borderlands 2'' and its DLC were released as part of ''Borderlands: The Handsome Collection'' on March 24, 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/01/20/borderlands-the-handsome-collection-lands-on-xbox-one-ps4-in-march-with-a-400-limited-edition.aspx )〕 ''Borderlands 2'' had sold over 13 million copies, making it 2K's highest-selling title. ==Gameplay== ''Borderlands 2''s gameplay is similar to its predecessor, with a focus on the completion of missions and the collection of randomly-generated "loot" (such as weapons, shields, and other items) with various rarities, statistics, and elemental effects. Four playable character classes are available in the base game, each with their own unique abilities and skill trees: Axton, "the Commando", can summon a turret to provide offensive support. Maya, "the Siren", can "phaselock" enemies by trapping them in a sphere of energy for a few seconds. Zer0, "the Assassin", can temporarily become invisible and spawn a hologram decoy to distract enemies; an attack delivered in this state provides bonus damage. Salvador, "the Gunzerker", can use his titular ability to temporarily dual-wield weapons. New gameplay elements added to ''Borderlands 2'' include a trading system during multiplayer play; slag, a substance that increases damage to targets that are covered in it; new "E-Tech" weaponry; Eridium bars, a new currency for purchasing storage upgrades and other premium items; and the "Secret Stash," a small storage area for transferring items between characters. Increased character customization options were also made available, with collectable items unlocking different character head designs, color schemes, and vehicle paint schemes. A major addition to the game is the "Badass Rank" system; points are awarded for completing various in-game challenges, which in turn award tokens that can be redeemed to increase the player's base stats. These stat improvements apply to all of a single player's characters. Similarly to the original, completing the main story campaign unlocks "True Vault Hunter Mode", a New Game Plus which increases the difficulty of the game by making enemies stronger, accordingly improves the probability of finding rare and higher-quality items, and allows the player's character to reach level 50. There is also a "Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode" that spawns more difficult enemies and also increases the probability of rare items drop, this mode also raises the level cap to level 72. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borderlands 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
