Coming first is Designer’s Cut, which launches day-and-date with season 2 on Nov. 10 and includes an additional Skill Tree for each Vault Hunter and a brand-new game mode called Arms Race. 

Details beyond that are scarce for the moment, but Gearbox is planning on a full reveal over the course of several stream events. These are as follows:

  • Oct. 20, 9:00 AM PT – Amara/FL4K new Skill Tree reveals with livestreams and a special episode of Ultimate Vault Hunters
  • Oct. 22, 9:00 AM PT – Moze/Zane new Skill Tree reveals with livestreams and a special episode of Ultimate Vault Hunters
  • Oct. 29, 9:00 AM PT – The Borderlands Show premieres, featuring the new Arms Race mode and much more
  • Oct. 30, 9:00 AM PT – The Bordercast debuts the first live, hands-on Arms Race gameplay

As for Director’s Cut, that will launch next year in early Spring. Nothing else is yet known about what to expect. We’ll keep you posted, though, of course.

In related news, earlier this week we learned that Borderlands 3’s free next-gen upgrade, which adds 4K, 60FPS visuals, and a four-player local co-op mode, is set to launch in tandem with the upcoming hardware.
