The first
Borderlands 2 downloadable expansion,
Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty, is landing next week on October 16.
Associated Press reports the DLC is set in a new area which features the bandit-occupied slums of Oasis. Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford described the area as a dried-up landscape "more like Tatooine than an ocean." The
Sand Skiff vehicle Pitchford discussed last month also features in the expansion, along with a new currency called "seraph crystals."
Captain Scarlett is the first of four downloadable expansions Gearbox is releasing for
Borderlands 2, each priced at $9.99. The
Borderlands 2 Season Pass makes all four pieces of DLC accessible when they release for $29.99. We've reached out to Gearbox for more information on the upcoming DLC.
Update: Gearbox sends some hi-res images of the DLC, including the Sand Skiff after the break. Keep heading on and you'll find a gallery, which also has some box art.
