Gearbox Software just released a new trailer and information about the upcoming Borderlands 3 DLC, and the video promises lots of Lovecraftian monsters as well as a story of love, guns, and, of course, tentacles. Borderlands 3 has remained a popular title with fans of the series thanks to a number of in-game events for holidays like Valentines Day and Halloween, which usually also sees players being rewarded with exclusive in-game items like skins or new weapons and gameplay modes.
Earlier this month the Borderlands 3 level cap was announced to be raising from fifty to fifty-three, and before that Gearbox Software held an event called the Rare Chest Riches, which allowed players to accumulate even more legendary gear than they were usually able to. Despite the game's exclusivity to the Epic Games Store on PC, Borderlands 3 reached over five million sales in its first week alone and continues to be played by thousands of fans. Now, thanks to a company announcement at PAX East, players have a better idea of where the next round of Borderlands 3 DLC will take them.
With a full title of Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock, this new Borderlands 3 DLC isn't trying to hide its cosmic horror influences, as evident in the trailer embedded below. As the second Borderlands 3 campaign add-on, Guns, Love, and Tentacles introduces a brand new area called Cursehaven, which resides underneath the corpse of a fallen Vault Monster, as well as the return of Vault Hunter Gaige. New characters, missions, enemies, gear, and Class Mods will also be included. The DLC is expected to launch on March 26th.
Additionally, Gearbox also announced that Borderlands 3 will be finally coming to Steam on March 13th, and that players who already have accumulated friends on the Epic Games Launcher will be able to play with people on Steam regardless of the different front-end distribution programs they are using. This will likely be a great help to Steam's Borderlands 3 multiplayer community, as Epic players have had far more time to get familiar with the game and can help their friends out.
With an official Borderlands movie from Eli Roth coming at some point in the future and two other DLC content packs the size of Guns, Love, and Tentacles to go, it doesn't appear as if Borderlands 3 fans will be left wanting for new content any time soon. Hopefully the new Borderlands 3 DLC will live up to its inspirations in terms of horror and spectacle, and, if nothing else, it's sure to feature tons of guns and aquatic appendages. Whether the tentacles will hold guns, however, remains to be seen.
