Borderlands 2 offers a downloadable "Creature Slaughter Dome" mode to fans who pre-order from GameStop, and a trailer released today provides a first look at the content.

The brief video shows off the Dome, a dilapidated arena in which players take on waves of Pandora's creatures in a "Horde"-style setup. Any progress made in the Dome — experience earned, loot collected — carries over into Borderlands 2 proper. Moxxi's rocket launcher is a special item in the mode that looks like it will be worth the trouble.

Borderlands 2 will launch on September 18th on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
