Before getting into the newest entry, the team took the stage to address Borderlands 2 VR. Fans have been asking about the non-VR release's DLC coming to VR and it is now confirmed that it will be happening. All Borderlands 2 DLC will be coming to Borderlands 2 VR for free during the summer.

This awesome news means that Borderlands 2 VR players will be getting access to the following DLC from Gearbox Software:

• Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty
• Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage
• Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
• Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep

There's more that came to the original game, including cosmetics and class packs. So there's quite a lot of new content that players will be able to dig into. The VR version of Borderlands 2 sadly doesn't feature multiplayer, but you can read our full Borderlands 2 review for the original game to get an idea of what to expect from the game's content. Here's excerpt for you as well

"Borderlands 2 shares a lot in common with its predecessor. It's a jack of all trades, but that also makes it a master of none. The shooting mechanics, enemy AI, loot differentiation, and story beats are all notably refined from the first game, but none of them to the point that they could individually go toe-to-toe with the best of their respective genres. What makes the series special is how those elements coalesce to form a game that's more than the sum of its parts. It's not quite like anything else on the market, giving a unique way to scratch the loot-lust and shooter itch at once."

We've written out all of the tidbits that Gearbox shares as the stream goes on, so if you missed the PAX East 2019 panel and want to see what the team shows of Borderlands 3, you can check out the PAX East 2019 landing page.
