Gearbox has revealed the role that Michael Mamaril plays in Borderlands 2. Mamaril, a 22-year-old Borderlands fan who passed away from cancer last year, received a touching eulogy from Gearbox in late 2011. At the time, Gearbox said Michael would be included as a non-playable character in Borderlands 2 but didn’t offer any details.
Now, during its Community Day over the weekend, Gearbox revealed exactly how Mamaril will live on. Players will encounter Michael in Sanctuary, a town that serves as a home base where players can buy guns and supplies. During each conversation with Michael, players will receive a rare piece of loot, as well as an achievement/trophy called “Tribute to a Vault Hunter.”
You can hear Gearbox discuss Mamaril’s inclusion at 1:19:19 in this video from Community Day. Borderlands 2, meanwhile, will hit stores tomorrow, September 18th. For more, be sure to read our Borderlands 2 review.
Thanks to NeoGAF for the heads up.
