Gearbox open to Borderlands on Vita

Borderlands on the PlayStation Vita is a possibility if another studio contributed to the project, claims Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford.

Pitchford was recently asked whether the shooter could ever make its way to the handheld.

He told IGN: "I think it would be awesome to have Borderlands 2 on the Vita but I'm really busy. We can't do it ourselves."

Pitchford said it could only ever happen if Gearbox had some help from Sony.

"If some other studio was capable and could be trusted by us, and by a publishing partner, and by Sony, and someone wanted to in invest in making that happen? I think Sony should step up and make that happen," he added.

"I don't think it would cost a lot, relatively speaking, and I know there's a lot of talented people who have learnt how to use the Vita and could do a great job at that. If that machine started to align itself, I wouldn't be the hold up. I would actually be an enabler."

Borderlands 2 is currently gearing up for a 21 September launch. Check out a launch trailer below.
