Gearbox Software announces the Claptastic Voyage DLC and the
Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 will be released on March 24th for
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, their Borderlands 2 prequel. On a related note,
a new
trailer (thanks nin) is online, offering the news in motion. Here's the
deal:
Claptastic Voyage, a new downloadable campaign add-on for
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, is coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Steam on
March 24*, along with an additional level cap increase with the Ultimate Vault
Hunter Upgrade Pack 2!
In Claptastic Voyage, Handsome Jack has found something ludicrously powerful
within Claptrap’s mind. Never one to turn down a chance at more power, Handsome
Jack digitizes the vault hunters and sends them inside! Their goal is simple:
find the mysterious “H-Source” code and get out of Claptrap’s consciousness
without going completely insane. These anti-heroes will have to deal with
Claptrap’s personal insecurities, his malware, and digital representations of
his crushing loneliness!
Claptastic Voyage will answer important Borderlands questions like why Claptrap
loves dubstep so much all while exploring his inner most thoughts. You’ll also
get a chance to visit all-new environments and make new friends (plus run into
some old ones get some new gear as well as new unique Achievements or Trophies.
On top of that, Claptastic Voyage features a customizable new mutator arena that
lets you choose your own gravity settings, enemy mixes, and more. There’s also a
brand new glitched weapons system and many more fun surprises for you to
discover!
Additionally, the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 is included as bonus
content in the last add-on pack in the Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season Pass,
which raises the level cap to 70, giving each of your characters 10 new levels,
plus 10 new skill points to earn!
If you’ve already picked up the Season Pass, Claptastic Voyage and the Ultimate
Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 are included. For players that haven’t, these items
will be sold together as one pack for $9.99. The Season Pass is still available

offers all four packs for just about the price of three!
The Season Pass also includes the previously-released Handsome Jack Doppelganger
Pack, which makes Borderlands 2’s maniacal antagonist playable for the first
time (or at least someone who looks an awful lot like him), as well as the
Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack: The Holodome Onslaught, which raises the
level cap to 60 while offering a new challenge arena, and the Lady Hammerlock
Pack, which lets you play as the cold-as-ice sister of everybody’s favorite
