2K has announced a new downloadable content pack for Borderlands, called Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution, due next month.

In it, players will find themselves caught in the midst of a civil war between homicidal Claptrap robots and the Hyperion Corporation’s armadas. Operating as mercenaries for the Hyperion Corporation, players will work to bring down the robot revolution and dispatch their cunning leader the Claptrap Ninja Assassin.

“What gamer doesn’t love a kung-fu-wielding Ninja Assassin Claptrap with nunchuck skills?” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.

 

2K Games has announced today that the first two downloadable content packs for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, will be released on disc. Last week’s DLC release, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, will not be included but can be purchased and downloaded through each platform’s online distribution channels.

Gameplanet scored The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned 9/10 and Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot 4.5/10.

2K Games and Gearbox have announced over the weekend the latest downloadable content pack for Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.

The DLC, in development for the PS3, 360 and PC, sets players in a face-off with new enemies in a new environment and will provide them with “tons” of new missions, say 2K.

But perhaps of most interest is the announcement that the DLC will extend the level cap beyond 50.

As more details become available, we’ll be sure to let you know.

 

Gearbox have announced this morning the second downloadable content pack for Borderlands, called Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot.

Mad Moxxi’s offers players three new Riot Mode arenas to experience. Inside, they must fight off wave after wave of enemies for fame, honour and, of course, loot.

 

Borderlands developer Gearbox has trademarked the name Borderworlds, implying that the successful new intellectual property will receive a sequel likely to be set several planets.

First hints of a sequel are unsurprising given the game’s critical and financial success – not to mention that in November, Gearbox said a sequel was a “no brainer.”
