October-dated iPad and iPhone game will reportedly have players taking on waves of enemies, offer a levelling system, as well as "thousands" of weapons, and "strategic cover system."

The Borderlands franchise appears to be branching out from consoles and PC and coming to mobile platforms. A Gearbox forum user spotted an advertisement (below right) for Borderlands Legends in the Borderlands 2 digital strategy guide, indicating the game will release for iPad and iPhone sometime this month.

According to the advertisement, Borderlands Legends was specially designed for mobile and tablet devices. Players can control Mordecai, Lilith, Brick, and Roland in gameplay that has players taking on waves of enemies. Much like the console game, Borderlands Legends will allow users to earn experience points and level their characters, according to the ad.

A total of 36 unique powers and abilities, as well as "thousands" of weapons, and a "strategic cover system" will be up for grabs in Borderlands Legends, the ad goes on to say. Gearbox Software has not announced the game, and a representative from the company was not immediately available for comment.
