According to joystiq, this upcoming expansion, titled Captain Scarlet and Her Pirate’s Booty, will be making it’s way on to your platform of choice October 16th. You may remember that this was the original date at which Borderlands 2 first DLC character, Gaige the Mechromancer, was supposed to release.

  • A new area called ‘Oasis’, described by president of Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford, as a dried up landscape that’s currently occupied by bandits.
  • Seraph Crystals are the new currency for this upcoming DLC.
  • A Sand Skiff vehicle.
  • Four new bosses: Captain Scarlett, The Leviathan, Hyperius the Invincible, and Master Gee the Invincible.
  • One of the raid bosses can only be farmed once a day. Due to a lockout that prevents this mysterious raid boss multiple times.
  • Every character, including Gaige the Mechromancer, gets a new head to unlock.
