[Rumour Control] ‘Borderlands 2’ DLC to be Released During E3 as a Bridge Into ‘Borderlands 3’
It must be that kind of week when it comes to news. According to PlayStation Lifestyle, an anonymous source revealed to them that Gearbox is planning to release more Borderlands 2 DLC during this year’s E3 to bridge the gap between the end of Borderlands 2 and the beginning of the upcoming follow-up in Borderlands 3.
Called “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary”, the rumoured Borderlands 2 expansion will “allow players to get in one last hurrah, and sate the thirst for Borderlands that you might be feeling for the next few months.” No word exactly on what platforms the DLC will be coming to, but it’s assumed that PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will be a given.
Borderlands 3 will be released for PS4, Xbox One and PC September 13.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
