Gearbox Announces Season Pass for Borderlands 2

Gearbox Announces Season Pass for Borderlands 2

Four post-launch DLC packs planned

Written by osubluejacket on 30 August 12 at 12:43

When Borderlands was released back in 2009, Gearbox had a certified smash hit on their hands and supported an army of new Vault Hunters with some amazing post-launch DLC (let's all agree to give Moxxi a pass since the other three were downright stellar). Fortunately (and not-surprisingly) for gamers, Gearbox is aiming to give that same love to their upcoming Borderlands 2.

As announced today in the Gearbox Forums, Borderlands 2 will feature four post-launch DLC packs in the form of add-on campaigns and, as is de rigueur these days, they will be offering a season pass that will allow you to net all four for the price of three.

Each of the four add-on campaigns will cost 800 MSP, but you can get all four for the low-low price of 2400 MSP. Gearbox has also mentioned that these four add-ons do NOT include the (already announced) "Mechromancer" DLC and other pre-order/Premiere Club bonuses.

Borderlands 2 will be bringing the wub wub on September 18th.

Hold up, so the Season Pass isn't included when you buy the game new?

Also, fuck EA and the creation of the "Season Pass"!!!!!!
My only complaint with wireless controllers is that there's nothing to slow em down when I throw em.

After the amazing quality of the Borderlands add-ons, I definitely don't mind dropping 2400 MSP for this.

Edit: A lot of people seem to be forgetting that a season pass and online pass are very different, This is not an online pass and you don't need it to play online.

The Season Pass is not the same thing as an Online Pass.

I loved the first game, but I think I'll be waiting awhile for this one. Probably get the GOTY edition next year. Glad to hear it'll have DLC on it!

EA created the Online Pass, not the Season Pass.

Mortal Kombat was the first game released with the season pass.

Online pass - pay for the ability to play online

Season pass - pay for the all of the DLC upfront and get it on release day. You will also get a discount when buying the season pass (in most cases)

Big difference there. The season pass is in no way a negative thing for anybody. You may purchase them individually if you prefer, purchase only the ones you want or save yourself some cash and get it all for a bit cheaper (if your getting them all anyway). its a great system that does not make you purchase it to play the game, as the online pass does.

Dude EA was the one that created the Online Pass not the Season Pass. Season pass is really a buy the DLC now at a 25% discount and download them when they are released at no extra cost then what the DLC would cost if you buy them separately.

If I am not mistaken I think it was Rockstar who first invented this season pass with L.A Noir. If I am wrong then I am wrong. :P

The years of $60 games are over, I guess. Why not just let me pay $90 up front and let me get everything else free. I'll be more likely to keep games longer, buy it new and not feel robbed later on. I know the jump in price would make most upset, but they can buy the cheaper version of the game. Halo 4 has something like this when you preorder the limited edition, I believe. I also wonder if selling games for the new norm of $70 would give developers and publishers more of an initial investment in order to create more free (or at least cheaper) post-launch DLC. I used to complain about games still being so expensive when technology has come so far, but with these leaps between graphics and gameplay (Saint's Row series as an example), I can see why. Also, the whole race for the new generation ofnconsoles is on.

I waited on Borderlands and got everything dirt cheap. But I loved it so, I am very much willing to place my hard earned money into this sequel and keep supporting the wonderful staff.
