Krieg Takes Center Stage
DLC 4 will take playersinside the mind of Krieg, who is the Crimson Raiders' resident psycho. It is worth noting that Krieg was previously featured inBorderlands 2and his addition in DLC 4 will mark his return inBorderlands 3. In the expansion, players will travel through Krieg’s warped memories, which will include the Siege of Castle Crimson and Sapphire’s run that involves a murderous train, and lastly, the Benediction of Pain, which will dissect Krieg’s origin story.
Moreover, the DLC will exploreKrieg’s reaction after learning that Maya has diedunder the hands of the Calypsos during the events ofBorderlands 3’smain campaign. Of course, given Krieg’s fragile mental state, Maya’s death would surely have an impact on him, which will probably lead to many emotional moments between the two vault hunters. It is interesting to see Krieg play a starring role inBorderlands’story once again, and it is safe to assume that players will probably see more of him in futureBorderlandscontent.
New Additions
Apart from the new story, DLC 4 will also allow players to see twisted versions oftheir favorite Vault Hunterstogether with new skins, side missions, new legendary items, and Crew Challenges. Additionally, DLC 4 will also introduce three more levels for players to aim for now that the level cap has been increased to 65 and Gearbox said that this is the last planned level cap increased at least for the foreseeable future. Moreover, players would be happy to know that all weapons and gear will still be playable outside of Krieg’s consciousness.
Pricing and Release Date

What’s Next For Borderlands 3?
The release of DLC 4 will be the last planned expansion forBorderlands 3for 2020. At the moment, it is unclear whether Gearbox Software will be releasing more expansions in the future, but the second season of content has long been rumored. Recently,Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford fueled the rumorswhen he sent out a tweet asking fans what they want to see should the studio release another premium add-on. However, Pitchford made it clear that this does not guarantee that a second season pass is in the works forBorderlands 3, but at least fans know that the studio is open to the idea.
As expected, fans responded that they want to see another round of add-on content forBorderlands 3. While the feedback differs from fan to fan, the majority wanted to seethe introduction of new Vault Huntersin the game. Moreover, fans also mentioned that they want to see Bunkers and Badasses 2, which is understandable given that Tiny Tina only played a small role in the main story ofBorderlands 3.Of course, it is worth noting that if Gearbox will decide to introduce more content, it would most likely be in the form of smaller packs rather than a full-fledged season pass.
Borderlands 3is out now for the PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One with DLC 4 releasing on July 21, 2025.
