New downloadable content raises player cap 11 levels; pack launching before October 31 for $5.
Earlier this month Randy Pitchford revealed that Tiny Tina…s Assault on Dragon Keep would not be the last piece of downloadable content released for Borderlands 2.
Today during its PAX Australia panel, Gearbox Software announced the first details for the game…s fifth expansion pack, as well as outlining free feature updates on the way.
The new DLC pack, the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2, will add 11 extra levels to the current player cap, and a new Digistruct Peak Challenge. The pack will also allow players to “over level” the game to make content more difficult for advanced players. No specific release date was given, but Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford confirmed that the pack will be out sometime before October 31 this year. The pack will not be included in the current season pass, and will cost $5. No previous DLC will be required to play.
A planned free update to Borderlands 2 is also set to increase the maximum amount of ammo players can carry, enhance the total number of available bank slots, and boost inventory capacity. All upgrades can be purchased using Eridium, the in-game upgrade resource.
The team also revealed upcoming DLC pack, T.K Baha…s Bloody Harvest. The content will include throwbacks to The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC released for the original Borderlands. The pack will conclude with a boss battle against pumpkin creature, Jacques O…Lantern.
Pitchford confirmed that while some DLC has been in development since Borderlands 2 went on sale, beyond today’s announcement, the team is aiming to release one or two more packs in the future.
