2K is bringing Borderlands to Switch with the Legendary Collection

During the Nintendo Direct Mini, 2K revealed that Borderlands would finally be making its way to a Nintendo platform, with the Borderlands Legendary Collection, which is comprised of Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, complete with all the previously released DLC, except the Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary add-on.

All the games in the collection can be tackled solo, or with a friend in split-screen co-op, but if you and your mate have a Switch each, and a copy of the game, local wireless play is also an option. Finally, the collection supports 4 player online co-op, so you can raid the vaults with hunters from around the world.

The collection is hitting Switch on May 29, though only the first game is on the cartridge, the remaining two are redeemed via a download code. There is no word on if Borderlands 3 is coming to Switch, or if Tales from the Borderlands will make its way over, though the latter is more likely than the former.

If for some reason you have no idea what each of the games are about, here is a blurb on each.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition

Discover the co-op shooter-looter that started it all, crammed with content and enhancements! Equip bazillions of guns as one of four trigger-happy mercenaries, each with unique RPG skills. Take on the lawless desolate planet Pandora in pursuit of powerful alien technology: The Vault.

Borderlands 2

Play as one of six Vault Hunters attempting to liberate Pandora from the evil mastermind, Handsome Jack. Make new friends, arm them with a bazillion weapons and fight alongside them in a relentless quest for revenge and redemption across the undiscovered and unpredictable living planet.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Discover the story behind Borderlands 2 villain, Handsome Jack, and his rise to power. Taking place between the original Borderlands and Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel gives you a whole lotta new gameplay featuring the genre blending fusion of shooter and RPG mechanics that players have come to love.
