Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel players are getting new DLC this month. 2K Games announced today that an expansion called The Holodome Onslaught, the game’s second post-release add-on, will be available December 16 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It’s included with The Pre-Sequel’s $30 DLC pass, or can be purchased separately for $10 on all platforms.
The Holodome Onslaught expansion features new story content, including appearances from well-known Vault hunters such as Gaige and Axton.
“While they were gone on a mission, they missed out on the events of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and ask Athena to recount the story,” 2K says. “Since they’re not the most patient badass Vault Hunters on Pandora, they just want an abbreviated version–only the juicy, violent stuff.”
As Athena tells the story, players will venture through The Holodome Onslaught, a new challenge arena that tasks you with fighting against wave after wave of enemies. Foes will include “some of The Pre-Sequel’s most memorable badasses, as well as several new enemies,” 2K says.
Players who survive will be able to earn new weapons, class mods, and “some radical new heads and skins.”The Holodome Onslaught DLC also includes the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack, which boosts the level cap to 60.
If you’ve already picked up the Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season Pass, the Ultimate Vault Hunter
Upgrade Pack: The Holodome Onslaught is included, but for players that haven’t, the pack will also be
sold on its own for $9.99. The Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season Pass is available for $29.99 and
grants access to all four add-on content packs – a $39.96 value! – as they become available on Xbox Live,
PSN, Windows PC, Mac and Linux. It also includes the previously-released Handsome Jack Doppelganger
Pack, which makes Borderlands 2’s maniacal antagonist playable for the first time (or at least someone
who looks and sounds an awful lot like him). While each add-on content pack will be available for sale
individually, the Season Pass offers all four packs for just about the price of three!
Additionally, all Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel players will receive a free patch next week that adds a
third playthrough, Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, which is more difficult and adds the ability to reset
campaign progress at any time, as well as enemies scaling up to your current level. Additional patch
notes will be available closer to release at support.gearbox.com.
Since Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel launched on October 14th, the teams at Gearbox and 2K Australia
have continued to work hard on supporting the game with post-launch content. Current plans for future
content are to include one more playable character as well as a new campaign, so look out for more
updates in the months ahead.
Good luck in the Holodome!
