The game follows the story of Vault Hunters on the planet Pandora, as one of four classes: Salvador The Gunzerker, Zer0 The Assassin, Maya The Siren or Axton The Commando. Downloadable content was also released for the game, later being included in a Game of the Year edition.[1] A version for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One was released with Borderlands: The Handsome Collection.[2] As of March 25, 2015, the game has sold 12 million copies.[3]
