[News] Borderlands 2 Pirate-Themed DLC releases October 16th

The first expansion for Borderlands 2, Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty, will be releasing next Tuesday on October 16th, as announced by Associated Press. If you think having a pirated-themed expansion set in the dry, rough lands of Pandora is strange, then you’d be right. Instead of an ocean, the expansion featuring the pirate queen Captain Scarlett introduces a new desert area containing the bandit town of Oasis. What shouldn’t be ironic is the fact that pirates and bandits share a common love- the love of treasure- and there’s no doubt the expansion will feature a lot of it.

In addition to the new area, new features include the Sand Skiff (the new vehicle shown in the pic above) and a new currency.

Captain Scarlett will be priced at $9.99. Players that have a Borderlands 2 Season Pass can access all four pieces of the planned DLCs for $29.99.
