Gearbox Software’s teased that story missions in Borderlands 2 will be “more dynamic” and “three times the scope” of those found in the game’s predecessor.
"The story missions in Borderlands 2 are about three times the scope of a single story mission in the first game. And they twist and turn throughout; your gameplay is changing, your goals are changing… it will be a much more dynamic experience compared to last time,” game designer Paul Hellquist told Game Informer.
Aside from missions, he also revealed that the team has placed a lot of emphasis on improving the game’s story.
"Lots of fans and critics gave us the business on the story. When we took a look at what we had done last time, we said, ‘we can do way better than that’," he explained.
"So story has been, from the very first day, one of the most important things that we wanted to improve in Borderlands 2."
Borderlands 2 is currently in development for PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.
