Avast there landlubbers! The first Borderlands 2 campaign add-on sets sail today with the swashbuckling adventure of Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty. Ye be warned says I, though vast riches await any vault hunters brave enough to search the wastelands of Pirate Bay, the plunder is guarded by dangerous foes who will send any of you scallywags straight to Davy Jones’ Locker! And that’s enough of that.
Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty, is available now and brings a new storyline, new locations, new enemies, and much more to give Borderlands 2 players hours of additional shooter-looter action. The DLC is the first of four add-on campaigns for Borderlands 2. Each campaign can be purchased separately or as a combined purchase with the Borderlands 2 Season Pass; which will set you back $29.99 USD. Once purchased, The Borderlands 2 Season Pass enables gamers to download all of the add-on campaigns as they become available; the last of which is scheduled to be released by June 2013. The Borderlands 2 Season Pass is now available on all platforms.
Don’t forget about the recently released fifth playable character class, Gaige, the Mechromancer. This mechanically menacing teenager can summon a giant robot named Deathtrap that, through various devastating ranged and melee attacks, can help Gaige and her fellow vault hunters clear the battlefield. The Mechromancer character class is a separate piece of downloadable content available for free to all customers who pre-ordered Borderlands 2. Anyone else can pick up the new class for $9.99 USD, as it is not part of the Season Pass.
“We’re so excited at how the Borderlands 2 experience continues to grow with Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty and the fifth playable character class, the Mechromancer,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "With hours of new story-driven content to play through and an entirely new character to play as, gamers are getting a lot of additional value. The really exciting part is that we’re just getting started.”
“The love we’ve felt for Borderlands 2 is driving us wild and ever since we completed development of the main game, we have been fired up about creating great, new content to expand the experience,” said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. “I am thrilled to announce the release of Borderlands 2’s first additional player character, Gaige the Mechromancer, delivered ahead of schedule. I’m also incredibly excited about Captain Scarlett and her Pirates’ Booty, which is an all-new grand adventure for Borderlands 2 and the first of a four-part season full of big, original campaign expansions.”
Borderlands 2 is available now on Xbox360, PS3, and PC. For more information visit the Borderlands 2 webpage or check out their Facebook page here. Savvy?
