Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel launches today in North America, and although it's Australian and other international players will have to arbitrarily wait a couple more days to get on board, you can watch the obligatory launch trailer right now.

Play as four new bad ass character classes as you take on the corrupt Dahl forces on Pandora’s moon, Elpis, under the leadership of Handsome Jack. Discover the untold story set between the original Borderlands and Borderlands 2 in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

If you only watch one trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, make it this one. It has an overview of all the key features, plenty of claptrap puns and Europe's The Final Countdown. Check it out below.

If you're in the US and Canada, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is now in stores for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and unlocked on the relevant digital platforms. Australians will have to wait until Friday, October 17th to catch up.
