Borderlands 2 could be getting free DLC, assuming a Steam directory leak is legit. The page references an upcoming add-on pack named Commander Lilith & The Fight for Sanctuary, which looks set to release on 9th June for free. That just so happens to coincide with the date of Microsoft’s press conference, so expect an announcement there alongside new Borderlands 3 gameplay.
Presumably this will bridge the gap between the 2012 title and its impending sequel. When you consider that Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is currently free on PlayStation Plus – and heavily, heavily discounted on other store fronts – it looks like this is all part of Gearbox’s marketing plan. It’ll be interesting to see if the PlayStation VR version receives the new content, too.

I heard about this rumor from a co-worker the other day. It makes sense how like the Pre-Sequel bridged the gap between BL and BL2 and people's biggest complaint was the Pre-Sequel should have been DLC not a full $60 game.
It's not really a rumor... you can't create a SteamDB entry for a product that doesn't exist (well, not without some serious help by Valve, but why Gearbox would want to intentionally psyche people out like this is beyond me)
@Tasuki I'm pretty sure it wasn't a full $60 game, at least where I live (USA)
They sure going the extra mile. Nice to have all my old games on Steam get updated to the remastered for free (usually have to pay for that)
They earned my Borderlands 3 Pre-Order the day they did that. This is just icing.
n.i.c.e I'm playing borderlands 2 right now.looks amazing on my ps4 pro.cant wait to play the pre sequel.the new dlc for part 2.and borderlands 3.word up son
So lillth is Filling in the Role That Roland Once Held
I'm down for more Firehawk.
Gearbox could have easily told this story through an animated sketch at the start of B3 so it's good that they've made it playable and even better that it's free.
Cool!
I jus wish the Borderlands series wasn't cursed for me...
Playing through BL1 right now. Having to read quest text is sooo last century. Jumping to bl2 will be nice.
There's a lot of people out there excited to endlessly grind.
This is cool, will give it a re-download this weekend and hop back in. Im sure it won't be anything substantial but a nice little appetizer before September!
