2K Games has announced that its upcoming role-playing shooter will arrive on North American shelves on the 20th of October and a few days later on the 23rd in the UK.

Borderlands, an original IP from Gearbox Software (creators of the Brothers in Arms series), will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and promises to “provide a strong blend of first-person shooter combat with an arresting art style, co-operative gameplay and character progression to deliver an incredibly unique and innovative title.”

The single player and multiplayer campaigns are seamlessly blended thanks to the extensive co-op integration with players able to freely leave and join games at any time, while the content generation system means that players will be able to choose from a large variety of weapons.
