Gearbox and 2K Games have unveiled the second major DLC for Borderlands 3. “Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock,” will launch across all platforms on March 26. The DLC is also included with the Borderlands 3 Season Pass, as well as with the Super Deluxe Edition.
The DLC’s story has Sir Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs finally getting married, and they want you to come celebrate their upcoming nuptials on the ice planet of Xylourgos. Its frozen wastes have thinned out all but the most vicious wildlife, and the eerie town of Cursehaven — where you’ve all agreed to meet — is located beneath the colossal carcass of a fallen Vault Monster.
But, as these things go, there’s trouble. A band of creepy occultists who worship the Vault Monster’s carcass are hellbent on ruining things. You’ll have to fight back the forces of otherworldly evil. Luckily, the story sees the return of Gaige, a fugitive Vault Hunter who’s inseparable from her robot BFF Deathtrap, who look to even the score.
That’s not all, however. Gearbox Software also shared concept artwork of Borderlands 3‘s third campaign add-on (which will launch this summer), as well as announcing that the game is finally coming to Steam on March 13.
Gearbox also laid out the year’s roadmap for the free events and updates coming to Borderlands 3 in April and May:
- April 2020 – Mayhem Mode 2.0 and the Revenge of the Cartels seasonal event. Mayhem Mode 2.0 will overhaul Borderlands 3’s end-game by reinventing the ways in which Mayhem modifiers work. Revenge of the Cartels will see you tracking down and taking out cartel operatives to earn event-specific rewards.
- May 2020 – The second Takedown arrives! Much like Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite—which released last November—the Guardian Takedown will offer some of the most challenging content in the game. This intense standalone mission will be themed after the mysterious Eridians and will feature not only new bosses but new gear and cosmetics as well. The difficulty will scale to the size of the player party by default. However, if you want to experience the Takedown in its true form, you can select “True Takedown Mode,” which tunes the difficulty for a party of four fully leveled-up Vault Hunters regardless of party size.
Borderlands 3 is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via the Epic Games Store, and Google Stadia.
