Brother in Arms Devs Head for Borderlands

Gearbox and 2K Games come together for new RPG-slash-shooter.

Brothers in Arms developer Gearbox Software has revealed that it is working with 2K Games on a new first-person shooter that has more than a touch of RPG styling.

Gearbox made its name with Brothers in Arms

The new PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game, Borderlands, tracks character development and lets you customise vehicles for combat while using new technology to dynamically generate thousands of missions, weapons and even game scenarios.

Co-operative play forms a bit part of the game, so players can drop in and out of each other's games on the fly.

Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox, reckons the game goes "far beyond anything anyone would expect".

Hyperbole - perhaps. We'll have to wait until the game's release at the end of 2008 to know for sure.
