In Borderlands 2, Jack was the delightful despot of Pandora who took credit for finding the Vault from the first Borderlands and took over the Hyperion weapons manufacturing corporation. While Borderlands 2 did have input on the story of the Pre-Sequel, very little of the story established in the game has been taken forward into Gearbox’s Borderlands 3.īorderlands: The Pre-Sequel was another opportunity for the series to dive in to one of best received characters in the franchise, Handsome Jack. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was not developed by Gearbox but by another studio, 2K Australia, and 2K Australia shut down in 2014 just a year after the release of The Pre-Sequel.
