Borderlands 2: Randy Pitchford Confirms That a New Playable Character is in Development

December 12, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

Gearbox is making a new character for Borderlands 2.

claptrap

If you thought that the Mechromancer was Gearbox's only additional character for Borderlands 2, you'd be pretty mistaken. Apparently, and this is new, Randy Pitchford says that the studio is currently developing another playable character.

Presumably, the new character will be available for download as a paid DLC. If it's anything like the Mechromancer, which was sold separately, it also means that the Season Pass DLC won't be inclusive of the character.

There's no other details beyond Pitchford's statement confirming the development of the character, which he made on Twitter in response to some guy in a hat.

@spartan089 yes – we're working on another character.

We'll be following up on its development with 2K Games and Gearbox.

With the cat out of the bag, we're curious as to what the character is going to be. Male, or female? How about another cyborg? What powers and abilities will it have? Make your guesses in the comments below.
