This new adventure is called Claptrap's New Robot Revolution. After 61 levels of advancement, the little wheeled robot guy is all sorts of pissed off, and he's forming a cyborg army to give you this business across six new zones. By "cyborg army," I literally mean that you'll encounter modified skags and other familiar creatures with vacuum tubes sticking out of their heads. You'll even fight a reanimated and roboticized General Knoxx along the way, this time supported by kamikaze Claptraps that explode when they get close to you. From what I played, none of it seemed as tough as fighting Crawmerax the "right" way seems to be, but it's not easy, especially if you're alone.
Surely, this must be the final Borderlands DLC, right? Between the guys at Gearbox formally announcing Duke Nukem Forever and a Game of the Year edition of Borderlands hitting with all four DLC packs in the box (though this new one may come as a voucher, depending on which platform you're picking up), there's no way they could have time for a fifth pack. Right? We spoke to Randy Pitchford and he confirmed that there were no current plans for more DLC, but hey... we've kind of heard that one before. Be sure to check back for more with Pitchford, as we've caught up with him a couple of times over the last week or two to talk about Borderlands, that whole "Duke Nukem" thing, and much more.
If you're looking to fight Claptrap, you'll be able to grab the new DLC on September 28 for $10.
