Borderlands 2 is getting its second downloadable character, Krieg the Psycho, starting tomorrow. We gave a run-down of his skill trees in our hands-on, but just in case you'd rather hear it from Sir Hammerlock, a new trailer scratches that itch.
Borderlands 2's second downloadable content character, Krieg the Psycho, is set to release next week. While each of the characters have been nicely differentiated, Gearbox faced a new kind of challenge with this character. How do you create a player character that actually feels like the series' most iconic (and extremely aggressive) enemies?
The second DLC character for Borderlands 2 will storm in next Tuesday, May 14, developer Gearbox has revealed. Krieg the Psycho will be running around, cutting men up and generally being a bit mentally unstable, even by the standards of the mass-murdering Vault Hunters.
Updated with date and price.
Gearbox Software has seemingly inadvertently leaked the name of the final piece of planned Borderlands 2 downloadable content. Thanks to a now-deleted tweet that showed a banner, we can safely say it will be called "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep."
If you own an Xbox 360, and particularly if you only own an Xbox 360, the Gold requirement for online play and services can be a pain. This weekend, Microsoft is offering a cooling salve, in the form of free access, so you can join those with disposable income in watching movies and hearing preteens shout racist epithets at you for stealing their kill.

Telltale's original Poker Night at the Inventory rewarded good play with shiny unlockables for Valve's Team Fortress 2, and Poker Night 2 is really upping the ante. With characters from Portal, The Evil Dead, Sam & Max, Venture Bros. and more, the sequel will rifle through their possessions to offer Borderlands 2 heads and skins on all platforms, as well as other platform-specific unlocks.
A new 'Ultimate Vault Hunter' difficulty mode is coming to Borderlands 2 for free in a patch alongside the not-free level cap-raising DLC 'Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack' DLC on April 2, Gearbox announced last week. But wait, there's more! It's since announced that the patch will bring a few other nice extras too, including more storage upgrades.
Today at its PAX East panel, Gearbox Software announced an impending Borderlands 2 level cap increase, and detailed the sixth Vault Hunter coming for the game.
Borderlands is being turned into a cartoon. But, in quite an unusual way.
Gearbox has announced a new partnership with the Academy of Art University that will have students working together to create an original animated short film set in the Borderlands universe. The "Borderlands Cooperative" will have students from multiple disciplines work together to make the film a reality--before its end-of-year deadline.
Despite some hedging of bets, the wait for a new Borderlands 2 character might not be so long after all. At SXSW this weekend, Gearbox debuted a teaser-trailer for a sixth Vault Hunter, who appears to be more melee-focused than the rest of the gun-happy crew.
Borderlands 2 is most likely getting a sixth playable character, according to Gearbox studio head Randy Pitchford. This would be the sixth character in the game, after the four on-disc and pre-order bonus Mechromancer.
Borderlands 2 fans want an increase in the game's level cap. But, it's not as easy as turning on a switch, Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford explained. According to Pitchford, the experience system of Borderlands 2 is "complete," and that simply raising the level cap could lead to "game-breaking" situations.
"We don't just want the numbers to increase, we want the skill points. And some of the skill points are mutually exclusive; they're designed so that you know what you can build in terms of the trade-off between different trees. You can't fully build out two trees," he explained.
Borderlands 2 has enjoyed a certain level of sustained success, thanks to its steady stream of downloadable content and varied classes. One element new to the series that has kept fans coming back, though, has been the Shift codes. Initially a fairly rare novelty, Gearbox has been keeping players engaged with social events handing out the codes like candy. Gearbox president Randy Pitchford sees this as a system they can get use out of in other games and franchises.

In Spoiler-Talk, we take a no-holds-barred look at some of the biggest games and discuss what the future holds for these franchises. Expect many, many spoilers.
The original Borderlands had a lot of things going for it, but plot wasn't one of them. Its sequel was almost universally praised for upping the ante in this respect, creating a richer world with clever writing. The dark humor was punctuated by real emotional stakes. We've already talked to lead writer Anthony Burch about how he used death to make the plot carry more weight. A look back at the game's story shows it had a pretty high body count that escalated, as if daring itself to go further with each one.
