Poker Night 2 launching this month

Telltale Games has announced Poker Night 2, a downloadable card game coming to Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and PC and Mac through Steam at the end of April. Other platforms and a firm release date are still to be announced.

Poker Night 2 is a sequel to 2010's original Poker Night at the Inventory.

Players will take the fifth seat at the poker table, joining characters from games, TV, and film. These include Claptrap (Borderlands), Brock Samson (The Venture Bros.), Sam (Sam & Max), and Ash Williams (Army of Darkness).

Dealing the hands will be GLaDOS from Valve's action-puzzle games Portal and Portal 2.

In Poker Night 2, players can win "Bounty Unlocks," which are rewards that can be used inside other games when certain goals are achieved. Players can unlock skins and heads for Borderlands 2, characters accessories for Team Fortress 2, as well as Xbox 360 avatar items and themes for PS3.
