The emphasis for this sequel is on evolution, not revolution and the co-op features that worked so well the first time around are promised to get serious attention. Gearbox isn't showing its hand with the exact multiplayer details just yet, but with the mechanic set so sweetly in place from number one, it's positioned itself well to deliver again.
One thing it is happy to talk about, though, is how the world of Pandora's shaping up. It's still highly stylised, impressively expansive, and crammed full of more guns than a Kentucky Walmart. Reardon elaborates on what to expect in Pandora 2.0: (The world itself is much more alive, while still giving you a sense of being in a barren wasteland. Our game also hits a much broader range of environments [it] isn't just brown! Expect to see a lot more variety, colour and life. It'll be a totally new experience on Pandora.)
