Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel launches for NVIDIA SHIELD devices July 1st
With today’s announcement of the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV release date comes word that one of the biggest games shipping with the device will soon be available. NVIDIA has confirmed that Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be available starting July 1st for SHIELD Android TV users.
Those who opt to buy the SHIELD Android TV Pro (the 500GB version that will cost $300) will get the game for free as part of their purchase, while we imagine others will have to pay some yet-to-be-announced nominal fee.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a first-person cooperative shooter that follows the story of Handsome Jack, the annoying protagonist that made your life a living hell in Borderlands 2. He leads a group of four baddies from previous games to take control of the Helios space station.
Fans of past Borderlands will find a familiar game here, including raunchy humor, a deep loot system and RPG elements for each character. No word on whether this launch will spread to other Android users just yet, but we’ll do our darndest to find out.
