A couple days ago, Gearbox revealed the first DLC for Borderlands 3. Titled "Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot," players will be recruited by Moxxi to break into an abandoned casino that was built by Handsome Jack back when he was 1) alive, and 2) President of the Hyperion corporation. Your goal is to break into the core of the casino and take over (anyone want to bet that it'll be turned into a Moxxi-themed casino when you do?)
In a quick but drastic shift, Starbreeze has declared it will continue development on 2013’s PAYDAY 2 through both free and paid content, which is in direct contrast to their previous ideology of winding down support for the title and providing any future content for free as part of their “Ultimate Edition” of the game.
Chucklefish's RTS game, Wargroove, is getting some new, free (!) DLC soon that adds a whole new campaign to play through. Best of all, it can be played cooperatively with a friend! Hooray!
If you have been waiting for Luigi’s Mansion 3 October 31st, 2019 release date to come around, you may, like the rest of us, have been expecting Nintendo to announce any and all updates they could. However, Nintendo instead decided to keep in line with the game’s themes and be as quiet as a ghost as they placed a subtle announcement that there will be paid DLC that will add “new content” for the ScareScraper and ScreamPark modes after launch. This announcement was placed on their website without any word via an official press release, Nintendo Direct, or even so much as a text message - talk about being “ghosted”.
Arizona Sunshine will be receiving its second DLC, “The Damned,” come October 3rd, 2019. Priced at $4.99, this content adds a new mission to the story mode. Arizona Sunshine is currently available on both PC and PlayStation 4, though you do need a VR headset to play. The DLC appears to be available on both platforms on the day of launch as well.
During this year's San Diego Comic Con, Nintendo revealed that Colossus and Cyclops would be added to the playable roster of characters in MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order in a future update for free. That update is here and available, and you can indeed get both Colossus and Cyclops, but there's a little bit of a catch: you have to unlock them via two different Infinity Rift challenges.
The first DLC pack for MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order now has an official release date: Sept. 30. The pack is part of the $20 bundle that also includes two future DLC packs (Fantastic Four and X-Men), which has to be purchased as a whole (i.e., you can't buy the packs individually). If you've been enjoying your time with the game, which I sort of have, then picking the bundle up will certainly ensure you get even more stuff as this pack alone includes four characters (Blade, Punisher, Moon Knight, and Morbius), two new game modes, and a new Infinity Rift.
Last month, Gearbox announced/revealed new DLC for Borderlands 2 titled "Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary." This add-on content provides a bit of a story bridge between the end of Borderlands 2 and the start of the forthcoming Borderlands 3. With not many new co-op releases these days, we decided to hop into the DLC and see how Pandora looks nearly 7 years later...
With the upcoming release of Borderlands 3, Gearbox announced at the Microsoft E3 panel that their previous title, Borderlands 2, will be receiving DLC that bridges the story gap between the two games. The catch is that it's only available on current-gen iterations of the game, which means you'll need to own Borderlands: The Handsome Collection on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 (PC players, you're fine with just Borderlands 2). However, the DLC is free to snag that until July 3; after that it's $14.99.
The newest DLC for State of Decay 2 is now available. Titled "Heartland," this content features a new 10-hour campaign that takes place on a new (but familiar) map with all new survivors. The good news is that it's still cooperative, so your friends can join in and help you build up your base and take on missions/zombies. The bad news is that it is entirely separate from the main campaign, so you'll be starting fresh and can't bring any of those survivors over.
Crackdown 3 may not have lived up to the expectations set by its predecessors, but still was a solid entry for the series in my opinion. While it wasn't the groundbreaking technological marvel originally promised, it was an extremely polished and satisfying game based on the formula set out by Crackdown 1 and 2. Today the team at Microsoft have announced the "Extra Edition" update.
The action RPG Grim Dawn has received another expansion in the form of the newly released Forgotten Gods. This expansion, much like Grim Dawn itself, is available now for PC and will likely be included when the game finally comes to consoles sometime in the (hopefully) not too distant future. The expansion is priced at $15.99 currently, but it does require the Ashes of Mammoth DLC ($17.00) in order to play, so be sure you’ve snagged that one as well.
