The sequel to the highly popular Borderlands has already been confirmed for September 21. Fans of the space western shooter game who pre-ordered the Borderlands 2 via Steam will be happy to know that pre-loading is now available.

Although the game will unlock in about 6 days and a few hours, pre-loading it now will offer gamers the possibility to jump right into action the moment Borderlands 2 becomes available to play.

Besides the advantage of having the game pre-loaded on their PCs, those who pre-ordered the game will also receive several bonuses: a new character class, the Mechromancer, a golden key, which can be found in the mysterious Sanctuary Loot Chest, as well as the Vault Hunter's Relic, allowing gamers to play solo or with their friends and “boost their gear-hunting fortune.”

A certain package of unique Gearbox Golden Guns will also be given for free to all customers who pre-ordered Borderlands 2, which will help them enjoy an easier start on Pandora.
