Borderlands 2 not coming out March 18th on PS Vita

The handheld port of Borderlands 2 will not be coming out March 18th for PlayStation Vita, as falsely stated by the 2K Games International Twitter account.


According to PlayStation Lifestyle, @2KInternational tweeted that BL2 was set to release on March 18th for the Vita. However, that post was deleted and followed up with two more tweets announcing that "the release date mentioned is incorrect" and they were "sorry for any confusion this may have caused."

All three of those tweets have since been deleted on the account.

PSLS also gives us information on NewEgg's continuing change in their release date:

You may remember March 18th as the original date given by NewEgg, but they then changed it to April 15th, and now it reads December 31st, 2014 (clearly a placeholder).

Considering the game is still available for free on PlayStation 3 for PlayStation Plus subscribers, I don't see much reason to head out and buy this game immediately except for gamers that must shoot and loot on the go. But the game is aging, and if the publisher waits until late spring or summer, will there still be as big of a demand for another edition of BL2?

It's an incredibly fun game with lots of playing time, but you'd think even the biggest diehard fans are ready for the next installment of Borderlands.
