Gearbox is looking to hire a live-action model for Borderlands 2, specifically one who has a sufficiently “plausible resemblance” to the character Lilith. The firm is looking for a female between the ages of 18 and 30 (aren’t we all?) who is free for testing and shooting during the first three weeks of December. No prior acting or modeling experience is required, so ladies in the Dallas area: go nuts. The only thing you need to be able to do is show a range of emotions through facial expressions. More details on how to apply can be found here. Thanks, VoodooExtreme.

Gearbox concept designer Scott Kester has said when the team started designing the world and story elements for Borderlands 2, it wanted to invent more for the game while staying true to the original, which was an “interesting line to tow” for the developers.

Gearbox Software awarded over 900 attendees of its PAX panel a download code for a free copy of Borderlands 2, courtesy of 2K Games.

Having announced this extremely generous offer, Gearbox then required the whole room to swear an oath.

Kotaku was in attendance and filmed the proceedings, a somewhat spooky chorus of nearly 1,000 people promising to love and respect both companies forever and ever. Hit the link to watch it in full.

Borderlands 2 is expected in 2012, on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

“It’s something that we’re still thinking about and we’re not talking about any aspects of that yet. We already smashed two genres together to create one so let’s not get too ahead of ourselves [laughs]. It really eats into our development time to make the main core game as solid as possible.” – Gearbox in an interview with NowGamer, via RipTen.

Thanks, Gematsu.

Gamersmint have posted some shots from Borderlands 2, and they look rather nifty. Like Kotaku, we don’t have the new Game Informer yet and can’t tell if these are scans or not, but just to be safe, we’re going to just let you click the link and not post them. Borderlands 2 is out next year and will be shown at gamescom next week.

Update: Yes, they are scans, as pointed out to us by subjectxen, who linked us to Game NYUSU.

In the latest issue of Game Informer, it mentions how gun manufacturers in Borderlands 2 have been revamped a bit, and will now have their own style and personality, and now the magazine’s official site has some more information pertaining to the gun peddlers.
