Archived News:
Gearbox announces Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary is now
available as free DLC for Borderlands 2 owners. This confirms the
the leak on the topic, and
that this is to help bridge the gap between Borderlands 2 and the upcoming
Borderlands 3. Here's a
trailer showing off what to expect. Word is this is free for about the next
month: Announced during today’s Microsoft Xbox E3 2019 Briefing,
Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary is the fifth campaign DLC for
Borderlands 2. This all-new adventure not only sets the stage for Borderlands 3
but also introduces some exciting new features along the way. We’re talking new
areas to explore, new enemies and bosses to battle, a new level cap to hit, new
aesthetic options for your Vault Hunters and vehicles, two new endgame OP
levels, and a new better-than-Legendary Effervescent tier of weapons and
equipment to loot. And it’s free until July 8!
Led by the legendary Firehawk Lilith, The Crimson Raiders are in possession of
the Vault Map and are preparing to leave Sanctuary in search of its secrets. But
when Dahl-branded ships full of soldiers arrive and deploy a chemical weapon,
the team is forced to change plans, and a hasty escape leaves Lilith and the
Vault Hunters scattered across the Pandoran desert. Enemies infected by Dahl’s
toxic gas pose a new threat to Pandora, and only you and your friends can stop
it.
If you want to start the new Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary with one
of your existing Vault Hunters, you need to visit the new “Fight for Sanctuary”
location, which is accessible via Fast Travel stations. Note that attempting to
play the new DLC content is not recommended unless your Vault Hunter is at least
level 30.
Want to jump right into the DLC without delay, regardless of how much
Borderlands 2 you’ve played? You also have the option to create a new level 30
Vault Hunter already loaded into the start of Commander Lilith and the Fight for
Sanctuary. Go to the Select Character screen, create your level 30 character,
and then start the game to automatically be transported to the new content.
That’s not all! If you’d like to play Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary
but don’t have a copy of Borderlands 2, you might be interested in one of the
great deals that are currently available for Borderlands: The Handsome
Collection.

Also from EA Play is
this post recapping the showing of Battlefield V. It includes
this video of the
entire presentation stream. They also offer
this trailer to introduce Marita, a new map coming to the military shooter sequel next
month in a free update for all players. Here's word on the next two maps coming
to the game: Al Sundan: Desert Fights on a Vast New Map
We know you’ve been hungry for more maps. Therefore, we were pleased to reveal
that a lot of fresh fighting grounds are being cooked up. First stop: The North
African desert. Coming in June, the Al Sundan map is based on the vista used in
the single player War Story Under No Flag.
Optimized for all-out multiplayer action, the location focuses on large
distances, vehicle-based teamplay, and battles across all ranges. Al Sundan is
classic Battlefield. We can’t wait to let you play it.
Marita: Infantry-Focused Map Coming in July
Following the release of the Mercury map, the Battle of Greece will continue
with Marita. Here, you’ll deploy on a sloping mountain ridge and within the
tight streets of a rural town, where Allied forces are making a last stand to
halt the Axis army.
Marita is an infantry-focused map, where all four soldier classes will be able
to shine. Tanks and aircraft will stand aside for intense infantry gunfights and
sneaky flanks in the cobbled streets. We look forward to letting you tackle this
vertical environment as the Battle of Greece rages on.

The pollen around here is absolutely crazy today, which is saying something
because it's been quite heavy for some time now. I don't generally suffer from
allergies, but when it gets this bad, it starts to get to me. I've got the full
raft of symptoms, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, and my throat is starting to
feel like it's actually accumulating a coating of pollen. I'm pretty sure that's
not the actual case, but I wouldn't be completely surprised if bees start
following me around.
