If it ain’t broke. Following the runaway success of Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 2 and its year-plus worth of add-on downloadable content, 2K Australia’s spacebound follow-up Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will make with the DLC. The dev confirmed at PAX Prime 2014 that four major add-on packs are coming.

There’s no details yet on the specifics of what’s coming, but each pack will cost $10. Those that intend to get all of them can purchase the bundle as a $30 Season Pass. 2K notes that the four packs will add new characters and missions both.

Note that a Season Pass does not include the Shock Drop Slaughter Pit add-on that was previously announced. It’s a bonus you can only get for free if you pre-order the game, though 2K notes that it will also be sold as DLC “at a later date.”

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel comes to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on October 14, 2014.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, a fantasy version of Borderlands, coming in early 2022
Cover art for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

Gearbox and 2K revealed Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, a Borderlands spinoff adventure, at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest on Thursday. The game features a star-studded cast, including Andy Samberg, Will Arnett, Wanda Sykes, and Ashley Burch, who will be reprising her Borderlands voice role of Tiny Tina.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a high-fantasy take on Borderlands that, according to Burch, should remind players of the Borderlands 2 DLC Assault on Dragon Keep. While the game will include elements and characters from past entries in the Borderlands franchise, it is a stand-alone title. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' announcement shouldn't come as a huge surprise, as the game's existence was leaked recently.

Marvel tactics game reportedly in development from XCOM studio
Xcom Marvel Game E3 Leak

The Avengers might be making an appearance at this year's E3 -- just not how you would expect. According to a leak of 2K's E3 plans posted on Reddit, Firaxis, the developer behind the XCOM franchise, is working on a turn-based game with Marvel characters.

According to the leak, the title from Firaxis is currently in development and code-named CODA. The leaker's source described it as "XCOM with Marvel heroes," and said that some "famous actors are voicing the characters." All signs in this case point to Marvel's Avengers, but with the size of the Marvel universe, the characters could easily be from the X-Men or the Fantastic Four.
