Following its panel at this year’s SXSW, Gearbox gave fans a brief glimpse of what’s to come next for the developer’s pseudo-cell-shaded shooter, Borderlands 2.
The gritty half-minute teaser (via Polygon) depicts what many speculate to be the game’s sixth playable character. This line of thought is more or less backed by the teaser’s announcement that “a new Vault Hunter is coming.”
Details are scarce, though this latest addition to the Borderlands’ cast looks to be melee-focused, somewhat akin to one of the original game’s protagonists, Brick. The newest arrival is also described as an escaped “experiment”, painting a clear image of what players can expect in terms of playable content.
A price has yet to be announced though franchise director, Matt Armstrong, confirmed it will come as part of the Borderlands 2 Season Pass.

Cool. I have the Season pass but hanging around for the level cap increase to go blasting through the remainder of DLC and raid bosses.

Looks like a robot to me…

That would be a shame as there’s already enough robot-type stuff to choose from (Deathtrap, Sentry Gun, Zer0)…
I’m hoping for some awesome, melee-based, mutant type thing! I’d enjoy getting all up in a bullymong’s face!
