More than a year after release, Gearbox Software continues to offer new content for its stylized shooter Borderlands 2. The previously announced Halloween-themed Headhunter 1: TK Baha's Bloody Harvest digital expansion will be released on October 22, 2K Games announced today.

The content, the first of multiple Headhunter add-ons, will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac on that day around the world for $2.99 / £2.39 / €2.99.

In TK Baha's Bloody Harvest, players will seek out the pieces of a key that will lead them into the heart of the Pumpkin Kingpin's pumpkin patch where they will battle against the Kingpin himself.

Throughout the DLC, players will find "augmented candy," which will drop from enemies and provide temporary player buffs, ranging from faster movement speed to increased damage.

Details about the next Headhunter expansions will be announced later.

Borderlands 2 originally released in September 2012. It has since shipped over 7 million copies and is on pace to become the highest-selling title in the history of 2K. A Game of the Year Edition was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on October 8.

Let this game die already. Really without the over the top characters, this game is pretty boring at this point.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yes, let the game die because I had enough of it and don't play it anymore and that automatically makes the whole world think exactly like me.

Because really, what's it to you that the game gets more content? Do you have some basic need to complain?

@the_repo_man6754 Looks like you and the other guy can go play some other game... while the rest of us enjoy Borderlands 2.

There are few enough games where I play 100 hours. This is one of them. Move along, troll boy.

Instead of continuing to milk Borderlands 2 after the release of their Game Of The Year edition, they should just put all that development time and effort into Borderlands 3.

There's supposed to be 3 Headhunter packs, TK Baha's Bloody Harvest is the first. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw a Christmas based headhunter pack as well. So basically if you own all the DLC up to this point (including the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack Two) there's basically 3 more DLC's to buy. I highly doubt there will be anything after that.

I love how people in general have a short term memory. So below is an interview from September of this Year ::

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford has said not to expect future content for Borderlands 2 to be on par with Season One DLC. Granted, it’s value will “exceed” its cost, he says, but at the same time players shouldn’t have high expectations for the content.

Speaking in an interview with Digital Trends, Pitchford said the team at Gearbox is still building new “new things” for Borderlands 2, but it’s also busy developing new projects.

“We are still spending energy building new things for Borderlands 2, but we are also building new things for the future,” he said. “We’re building some new things for next-generation consoles, we’re creating some new IP, we’ve got a lot of attention diverting to other efforts beyond Borderlands 2.

“It’s not fair for me to say there’s another season. There’s not going to be as much new stuff, but the good news is, there’s more stuff and it’s awesome and the value of it will exceed the cost. But I don’t want anyone, later, saying: ‘Why wasn’t there a whole season like there was before?’

“There might turn out to be, but I can only see what we have in motion right now.”

The latest DLC for Borderlands 2 is the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2.

T.K. Baha’s Bloody Harvest is due this fall.


A question I keep seeing is "How long are they going to milk BL2, blah blah"

There's supposed to be 4 Headhunter DLC's. TK's being the first.

Holy Butt Stallion, I just recently decided to pick up all the DLC for BL2 what with the Loot Hunt contest and haven't played through it yet lol. Don't know if I'm really going to need this one or not, but I'll probably break down and get it lest some rakk's start swarming my house like giant bats.

I recall them mentioning more DLC a couple months ago, but when they announced a GOTY edition I wasn't expecting it anymore. The Zombie DLC from Borderlands 1 was my favorite so I'll probably get this one. I haven't purchased any of the DLC thus far.

@n0xinab0x @davetbeau That's true seeing that they are releasing a series of Headhunter add-ons and this is part 1.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I also screwed up. The Steam cloud said my data didn't match the save data on my system. Not realizing that my system had the correct data and Steam did not, I synched it. Lost all my gear from level 51 to level 59. Do not feel like grinding out those 8 levels again.

...but hey, maybe they'll release a "GOTY 2" next year.

So, first Gearbox sold a season pass that didn't cover even HALF of the upcoming DLC content. A week ago they released the "GOTY" edition, which is supposed to be the final, end-all edition... and yet they keep cranking out more.

$2.99 for like 30 minutes of game play maybe. After about 300 hrs in game, and multiple "dlc", I feel I am being milked for every last penny. I will wait on the Steam Winter sale and pick this up for cheaper.

P.S: Are you making up for Aliens Colonial Marines loses by milking us Borderlands fans?
