Borderlands 'Claptrap's New Robot Revolution' Dated

Richard Walker

Gearbox president, Randy Pitchford confirmed the release date for the fourth chunk of DLC coming to Borderlands - 'Claptrap's New Robot Revolution', which will also be bundled with the Game of the Year Edition slated for October 12th, 2010.

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution will be released on September 28th, 2010 for 800 Microsoft Points, and in case you missed the news earlier this week, Borderlands' level cap is also set to increase from 61 to 69, which Pitchford stated is "the magic number". Quite!

There's no date for the free level cap increase as yet, but at least you can now pencil the DLC date onto your calendar. It's September 28th, if you skimmed over the last sentence. September. The. Twenty. Eighth.

  • aweesomeeeee...more Borderlands is always fine by me
  • I'm waiting GOTY...
  • to me also
  • WHOOP WHOOP!!
  • Waiting for GOTY, knew it would come eventually and will work out much cheaper.
  • Oh yeah 69 is the magic number lol :)
  • Been waiting for this for ages i got the 1500 for borderlands then it got boring so i stopped for a while so hopefully this can attract my attention for a while.
  • Never played thus game but if there's a GOTY edition I will pick it up
  • @floodgates You should cus its a great game :).
  • i hope there will be a borderlands 2 on the cards at some point.
  • Great game. More dlc is always welcome.
  • God damn it.. i had a hard time getting all the achievements and i must say most of them were boring and now this... DAMN YOU GEARBOX!!
  • Just. Out. Of. Interest. Whats. The. Deal. With. All. The. Full. Stops?
  • helll yesss!!!!! Im heading back into the borderlands..............
  • @14. The ending is referring to all the fucktards that cannot read and end up asking.. When is it can haz comign outt???? Will be getting this, love borderlands and haven't played it in a while..
  • Rather play Dead Rising 2 that day.
  • @15, I think you meant @13 lolololol
  • Nice, I'll be looking forward to this then :) I don't even mind the level cap increase, just gives me a better excuse to play more Borderlands than the weapon proficiencies =D
  • I'm more excited for the increased level cap... free is always good
  • bigger level cap is nice, but with more levels and more crap to do is better.
  • @8 - if you've never played the game, you should keep it that way. This game is garbage. A friend kept telling me how I should play it and yeah the first 10 hours were fine but the last 80 got so tedious and boring, I couldn't wait to finish it. The game has so many glitches and bugs, and the worst piece of DLC ever created (Underdome). Maybe it's because I played the entire game solo or what but the game world just felt so desolate and bland. Oh also one of the worst endings for a game ever! All that said, I guess I will still have to rerent the game just for this DLC. Hopefully they don't have so many annoying glitches like Fort Knoxx.
  • level cap will make crawmerax and underdome easy. Wouldn't say goty would be cheaper. I bought this in the Game sale and got the content when it was half price, even if I pay full whack for the claptrap DLC it's still working out better than the £35 i've seen it retail at.
  • may have to purchase this again GOTY edition will work out nicely
  • so when is this out?
  • good time ahead!
  • all personal preference #22. i leveled 6 different characters up by myself playing the game and from release i didnt get bored for a second until bayonetta came out. sure its way more fun with friends but its really not THAT bad on its own. underdome did suck though. Damn you pitchford for making this come out the same day as dead rising and guitar hero!
  • Woot, gonna kill me fidel claptro
  • About fucking time
  • Woot. I mean, ouch, my wallet. There are only like 8 games coming out on the 28th already...good thing i still got 900 points in storage. and, @22...just dont play the game, man seriously. Six thousand people on here toting how awesome the game is and two people saying it sucks. Maybe, just maybe, (nothing personal) there's something seriously wrong with you. I haz 1500 Borderlands ftw and I's feel fine. Solo'd 99% of it. Duo'd Crawmerx. Had a BLAST the whole time. So to sum up, lots o crap coming out dat day, me haz points, @22 see a doctor. Have a nice day. ^.^
  • Why does everything good come out in the month college/university/school start? This week I got Lair of the Shadow Broker, next week is Reach, and the week after my shows start and the week after that their is Borderlands DLC, and Comic Jumper. Still getting this but damn you college!
  • @13 - Pauses. For. Dramatic... ...Effect! Does it work?
  • This game is great and I can't wait for this dlc. Anybody who didn't enjoy the game I feel sorry for you. The game is meant to be played online in co op with friends so maybe that's where you went wrong.
  • @31: Just wait till October ;) lol but I agree the summer usually has nothing amazing to play but it starts to pick up in August-September. It's like that every year. Although May wasn't a bad month for gaming and I was out then. OT: I still have yet to play the other DLCs I got on sale so I most likely won't be getting this right away plus Sonic Adventure comes out the 15th and i need the rest of my points for that =P
  • Hells ya. Can't wait for this one. Although I have to play the other DLC... No time!
  • I need to buy a third game of borderlands anyways. My youngest son has recently started playing it. So looks like the GOTY Edition will be mine!! Muhahahaha!!!!!
  • HELL YEAH, finnaly the last installment of borderlands dlc, better find the disk and polish my weapons!
  • I've read on TA.com that the title update would come around october 12th.
  • HELL. YES.
  • Great, my Terrible Matador (not terrible at all... 274dmg over 12 bullets) needed a workout. Bring on the craptraps.
  • Wow. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Dead Rising 2, and now this all on the same day. I'm going to be one busy doominator on September 28th... and a slightly poorer one too.
  • Money's tight, I'm gonna have to wait til it's dotw :(
  • Ok, I gotta get GOTY of Borderlands:D I have played Borderlands at my friends and it's really awesome, but I never bought it for some reason. This must be a sign:P
  • Glad I didn't trade it in now!
  • wish this dlc would hurry up and be released looks very aweasome!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • YES! Cannot wait!
  • About time we got a date for the DLC. Now when can I get my Siren to 69? ....Giggidy.
  • This is gonna be a great birthday!
  • Dang, Guitar Hero 6 AND this amazing looking DLC on the same day. Well, crap...guess I'll play GH first, since the DLC might have bugs in it preventing achievements from being unlocked at the beginning (although that hasn't happened in any previous Borderland's DLC...)
  • This is great news.....I know how I'm spending my birthday this year. ;)
  • lol @ 49
  • 47*
  • I'm completely capped with my characters, so I hope I don't have to wait too long for the update to go live. I'm stoked for the dlc and would hate to let it sit because I can't level up yet.
  • If this is being packaged with the GotY edition, does that mean this will be the last DLC? I want to play all the DLC, but I'm not interested in getting it as DLC or in little expansion packs, I just want to wait for one single retail release with everything on it, usually that's the GotY edition.
  • any chevos with this dlc? if not then its a no no from me :)
  • @55 sooo im guessing your one of those people that dont buy games because of there achievement list?
  • @10 thought we would have heard somthing on borderlands 2 by now as gearbox got legal right to the name borderworlds but this was a while ago
  • Oh Yeah Baby, Sooner is Better.
  • I just finished the game with a friend...so i'm kinda burnt out on Borderlands atm...but i will obviously be playing this DLC on release day. Also, to #22...it is much more fun when you play with a friend. The only thing I didn't like about Fort Knoxx was the transportation...geez, if your car was blown up you had to hike forever to get a new one, usually. Also, I can't wait to hear more funny stuff from the claptraps..I hope they wrote some good stuff in there.
  • @22: If you spent 90 hours just to finish the plot of Borderlands, you were doing it wrong. I did all the side mission and still had it wrapped up a hell of a lot quicker than that.
  • @22 You sir are the biggest fucking hipocrit on this planet! Hated the game so much, that you played all the wya through plus you will be getting it again to play this DLC?? WTF is wrong with you?? Unless you hate all games you play like this go and play whatever you like and don't be bitching. If I don't like something, I don't bother with it (Stormrise, cough) and I bet so does gazzilion of other ppl!!!! OT: Awesome so can not wait to jump back in with friends. DAY ONE BUY^^
  • @ 55, No, they're releasing an awesome, mission packed, DLC with tons of new shit in it, and no achievements, all for the wonderful price of sarcasm.
  • such a bad day to come out. right after Reach and DR2 release...ugh. looks awesome tho
  • Wow thought they'd given up on this game, Still have to finish the secret armory 1st though.
  • I thought they had stopped releasing DLC for BorderLands,getting this DLC on the day.
  • I will be getting this new DLC as soon as the level cap increase kicks in. I'm defo looking forward to more Borderlands!
  • Achievements?
  • gunna be awesome but with Reach coming out idk if ima be playing it anytime soon.
  • Lol the day Dead Rising 2 comes out also. I must rebuy this game before that date and get my Siren back to a 60 because I erased the saved.
  • hungry
  • I really want to get this, but it comes out around the same time as the next Red Dead DLC, the Deathspank sequel & Comic Jumper & I don't have enough points for all of them. I hope this one has the fast travel stations as it was really frustrating not having them in the General Knoxx DLC.
  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 69!1!! LOL GEARBOX R CLEVER LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!1!!!!

  • -dead rising 2 -civilization 5 -borderlands dlc so much to do that week, i hate developers for bringing everything out at once

  • @#79. "another bad Halo game"? You haven't even played Reach yet! WTF... .

  • Yay for a level increase and more DLC three days before my birthday! :D I've played it twice through with my brother, and have made several characters alone and I can honestly say the only boring, mind-numbing task for this game was the Underdome. -_-
