First ‘Borderlands 3’ DLC Hits December 19th
Borderlands 3 (read our review here) is getting its first post-launch in the form of “Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot” campaign. The DLC will launch on December 19, and is included with the Season Pass.
According to the official site, the DLC has Moxxi assembling a crew (of which you’re a member) to plunder a derelict space station casino known as The Handsome Jackpot. You’ll have to battle your way through Hyperion security forces and crazed casino-goers to reach a safe loaded with Eridium, cash, and all-new Legendary loot.
To reach The Handsome Jackpot, you need to have played enough of the Borderlands 3 story to have access to Sanctuary III. The enemies and loot aboard the station will scale to your Vault Hunter’s level. For rewards, you’ll have access to customization items such as the Vault Hunter Heads & Skins, Weapon Trinkets, an ECHO Device Skin, and new Emotes.
Borderlands 3 is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
