Borderlands 2 coming to Android tablets with Nvidia Tegra 3 on board

The developers of  Borderlands , Gearbox , have announced that the second installment of the hit series is also coming on Android devices with 3 Nvidia Tegra architecture .

The software house was pretty hungry for details, not by leaking information about the release date and game mechanics.

It remains to be seen whether the game on the tablet, and perhaps later also on smartphones, is the same to be published on Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3.

Borderlands 2 should maintain excellent technical levels, as evidenced by the fact that the game will be exclusive for the devices with Nvidia Tegra chip 3, specially designed for use in gaming environment where they could appreciate how important Skyrim transpositions of securities.

Here is a teaser trailer for the title of Gearbox IGN:

Rumor: HTC will present the first Tegra smartphones from February 3rd

Tegra 3 has opened the ball in the area of the tablet with the first products from Asus already on the market and all other ready in the next few months / weeks to ferment this segment already in the midst of its spread.

Smartphones and device follow the thread of the natural evolution of this chipset and according to Digitimes   HTC will be one of the first producers to submit to the press during the month of February (probably at the upcoming Mobile World Congress , an event historically linked Taiwanese company ), one or more terminals equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 3 and the new Qualcomm MSM 8960 .

One of the possible candidates for this role are HTC  Edge  or  HTC Villas and these assumptions may be based, partly as a result of the statement released by some analysts.

HTC Will Maintain ITS Lead Against rivals by two months if it unveils Tegra 3 - and MSM-based smartphones in February 8960 and the ships models on time in April, the paper quoted Kwok Alvin, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, as saying.

We prefer, however, to put it even under the "rumor" and wait in the meantime the upcoming CES 2012, and the MWC to find the tables on even the Taiwanese manufacturer.
