2K Games Announces Borderlands DLC

2K Games announced today that fans can return to Pandora’s inhospitable environment to enjoy a brand new adventure with Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution.  This fists-of-fury filled fourth add on pack for Borderlands will be available in September for 800 Microsoft points or $9.99 on the Playstation Network.

Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution invites single player and co-op fans back to try to suppress a deadly Claptrap revolution using one of four infamous vault hunters.  The foursome find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a deadly civil war between the Hyperion Corporation’s well armed armadas and the ever amassing army of homicidal Claptraps led by one of the most eagerly awaited characters in the franchise’s history – the cunning Ninja Assassin.  As vault hunters, players must put aside their past differences with the Hyperion Corporation, namely the organization’s repeated attempts to wipe them from existence.  For a hefty payday, they will join forces to help beat down the mechanical uprising and thwart the dastardly kung fu expert, the Claptrap known only as Ninja Assassin.

“A year ago Borderlands was an untested brand that through hard work and a lot of passion, turned out to be one of the best selling, claptastic and skagtacular games we have ever created,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.  ”A year later, we are releasing our fourth DLC installment, Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution, which illustrates our enthusiasm for creating highly entertaining content that enhances a franchise.  In addition to serving as the perfect bookend to the original game, what gamer doesn’t love a kung-fu-wielding Ninja Assassin Claptrap with nunchuk skills?”

Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution will provide more than 20 new missions to loot and tons of fresh enemies to blast through, including original boss battles, waves of homicidal Claptraps, well armed Hyperion soldiers and local creatures that have been “Claptrap-fied”.  Fans can earn an addition ten skill points for a total of 71 available skill tree points, and three more backpack slots for additional blood yielding weapons and many hours of enjoyment.

Accompanying this announcement were a couple of new screenshots.  Take a look at them below and tell us what you think about this new downloadable content.
