2K and Gearbox Software, the studios behind the Borderlands franchise, are bringing the critically acclaimed Borderlands 2 to PSVR this December.

Announced today on the PlayStation blog, PSVR users are getting a special treat before Christmas that will let you play the full game in VR. The game is slated to launch December 14th.

The VR implementation was developed in-house by Gearbox Software, the developers behind the franchise.

According to series publisher 2K, Borderlands 2 VR “brings the iconic shooting-looting world of Pandora to life like never before, as you virtually become a treasure-seeking Vault Hunter facing off against the galaxy’s most charming psychopathic dictator – Handsome Jack – with nothing but your arsenal of 87 bazillion guns.”

The developers have promised an all new ‘Slow-Mo’ ability, and a teleportation-based movement scheme. The information surrounding the VR implementation is still thin on the ground, so it seems there’s still plenty to learn in the months to come.

Pre-order are now available at PlayStation Store, priced at $50.
