Borderlands 3 News For PAX Online Teased By Gearbox

PAX Online, a virtual event replacing both PAX Australia and PAX West due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, is set to go live from September 12-20. For the event's first day, Borderlands 3 creator Gearbox Software has teased some sort of announcement related to the Borderlands franchise. Whether this is a new game, or new content for Borderlands 3, remains to be seen.

Starting on September 12 at 12:45 PM PT / 3:45 PM ET, Gearbox will unveil "what's coming next" in Borderlands and from its publishing division, Gearbox Publishing. It's unclear how long the broadcast, titled the Gearbox Digital Showcase, will last or what specific announcements will be made. In either case, you can watch the presentation on Gearbox's official Twitch and YouTube channels.

Before the Gearbox Digital Showcase goes live, though, the company will launch Borderlands 3's next DLC on September 10. Titled Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, the new DLC will also increase the level cap again, add more mini-events leading up to its launch, and introduce new gear, among other things.

The other big Borderland release for 2020 has been the Borderlands Legendary Collection on Switch, which collected together the first three Borderlands games (including the Pre-Sequel).

In other Borderlands 3 news, Gearbox has partnered with Direct Relief, an international humanitarian organization, to provide aid to workers responding to COVID-19 by giving away in-game masks whenever you donate $5 or more through Gearbox's merch site.
