Borderlands 2 features 58-hour campaign

Gearbox has said the next Borderlands game will feature a sizeable 58-hour campaign.

Marketing vice president Steve Gibson told Gamerzines that Borderlands 2 will offer players value for money compared to other shooters.

He said: “What we like to think about it is, Borderlands is a hobby. Some guide guys just did a playthrough of Borderlands 2 and they reported back to us that it takes 58 hours to play through the campaign – and that’s just one playthrough with one character.

“We look at it as a hobby, and that isn’t even counting the new Badass Points system and how that’ll affect every character you do. We want it to feel like you get more for your money. We’re happy for people to pay their money once and feel that they get ongoing value.”

Borderlands 2 arrives on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on 21 September.
