THE BUZZ: Gearbox has selected who will play the live-action role of Lilith in Borderlands 2.

At the end of last year the developer held open auditions for women all over the world to try their hand at being Borderlands sassy heroin Lillith. Now they have decided on a winner, Australian Yasemin Arsal is the new live-action model for Lilith. She will appear in the game as a friendly NPC character, similar to the Guardian Angel from the first game. Oh, and speaking of the Guardian Angle, she is confirmed to be making a return in Borderlands 2.

EGM’s TAKE: Now you may be thinking that Gearbox had more impure intentions when they decided to hold open auditions for a hot female live-action character, and let’s be honest a few of them probably did. However, the end result is amazing. After Yasemin Arsal has had her makeup and hair done the resemblance is uncanny, and the team really seems to like the way she acts and moves. Look out for her hitting your game consoles when Borderlands 2 releases later this year.

What do you think of the winner? Leave your thoughts below.
