About this game
Borderlands Legendary Collection brings together Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Fighting bandits and creatures goes hand in hand with collecting weapons. The first game's mercenaries have distinct skill trees, linking your character choice to the abilities available during the search for alien technology on Pandora. The collection also follows Vault Hunters opposing Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2, then explores his earlier rise in The Pre-Sequel. These are separate adventures, and all three can be played alone or cooperatively in local split-screen. Additional content is part of the package, but Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary is excluded. The physical Switch package requires downloads for Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel.
Collected in series
Borderlands is best known for sci-fi shooters where finding new guns and shaping your Vault Hunter’s abilities keep missions lively. Its irreverent world also supports story-led spin-offs, with conversations and choices taking the place of constant firefights.
