Gearbox confirms next add-on to double-platinum RPG/FPS hybrid will raise level cap, be larger than the previous two.
With reviewers, Borderlands' downloadable content record currently stands at 1-0-1. The first add-on to the acclaimed "role-playing shooter," The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, was a hit with critics--who weren't quite as hot on DLC #2, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot
Now comes word that Gearbox Software's plan to regularly update Borderlands with DLC is moving ahead full steam. In a post on the game's official forums, level designer Jason Reiss revealed that the Dallas-area developer is readying a third-add-on for the game--which will be its largest yet.
"This is the biggest DLC we have made," declared Reiss after teasing, "Level cap increase anyone?" He offered neither a release date or a reveal date, saying only, "Hopefully we can get a full announcement out to you guys soon."
Even without the new expansion, Borderlands has exceeded industry expectations. Afterbeing written off by top analysts as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 cannon fodder, the all-new property proved an international hit. As of December, it had sold over 2 million units worldwide, according to publisher Take-Two Interactive--which is grooming it to be a "major franchise."
