Borderlands DLC is coming. At least two pieces of content have been confirmed by Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford, who also states that the DLC will be something we mere mortals won't expect.
"People are going to be surprised when they find out how quickly we're coming, and with what content we're coming," stated the Gearbox boss at Gamescom. "Also, we're going to watch and see what happens when the game launches, so we can have our plans affected by what our customers want more of. But we do have some plans for the initial stuff already in motion, and I'll be announcing that soon"
In addition, a later Tweet from Gearbox states that, "The first 2 Borderlands DLC packs will be all new -- not stuff that was cut or held back!" If the studio is to be believed, there will be no Namco Bandai-style disc unlocks for crappy alternative costumes. That's a good thing.
Borderlands' October 20 release date can't come soon enough. I've been waiting for this game since before everyone else got wise and took notice, patiently tapping my feet for the past several years. Really can't wait to get the thing in my hands.

That said, I wonder if the DLC will be more guns. Judging from everything I've heard about this game, it really sounds like it could use more guns and/or parts with which to make guns
/sarcasm
Anyway, I feel like I say this with every Borderlands post, but, dammit, give me this game right now.
Still, kind of ridiculous hearing about DLC two months before the game is released.
You'll see it here on Dtoid and on every other website, where in one article, we talk about the dangerous tendencies in DLC and in the other, we are drooling about DLC for a game that we don't know if it is any good, in the first place.
:(
