It’s been almost a year since Borderlands 3 was announced at last years Gearbox Main Theater Show and PAX East and this years show has brought more exciting Borderlands 3 news. The biggest announcement being the launch of Borderlands 3 on Steam on March 13 after being an Epic Store exclusive since launch. Existing Borderlands 3 players on Epic will also be able to cross-play with friends who own the game on Steam. At this time that includes adding people to your friends lists and playing co-op with future plans to enable sending weapons to friends.
And now for the big event, SPOILER ALERT but Sir Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs are getting married. And you’re invited to their nuptials in Borderlands 3’s 2nd DLC, Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock. The big day is being held on the icey planet of Xylourgo, in Cursehaven to be specific. Of course there’s a catch, it’s located above the carcass of a fallen Vault Monster. Worshipers of said Vault Monster however want to stop this wedding from happening. But with the help of an old friend you put a stop to these occulists. Gaige and her trusty robot BFF, Deathtrap, join you for the ride. Unfortunately Gaige is only an NPC this time around. Also included in this DLC:
- Reunite with old friends and teaming up with some eerie new characters to help true love triumph over eldritch horror;
- Confront bloodthirsty enemies and formidable bosses, including alien beasts, hideously mutated occultists, and a clan of cold-blooded bandits;
- Delve into the disturbing and occasionally daft backstories of cursed townfolk in a host of spine-tingling side missions;
- Arm your Vault Hunter with some of the deadliest gear in the galaxy, including a trove of additional Legendaries and some supremely powerful Class Mods; and,
- Flaunt your sense of style with a slew of new cosmetic items, from Vault Hunter Heads & Skins to interactive Room Decorations and all-new Vehicle Skins.
Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock is available March 26 and is included with the Borderlands 3 Season Pass, Super Deluxe Edition and sold seperately.
