Borderlands players will face an army of robots in an upcoming downloadable expansion, the fourth for one of last year’s dark-horse videogame hits.
Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution, priced at $10, will be available for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this September, 2K Games and Gearbox Software said Wednesday. The expansion will pit players against mysterious bot Ninja Assassin and his Claptrap robot followers, which are bent on overthrowing the Hyperion Corporation’s military forces.
Robot Revolution players will get 20 new missions, new enemies to ventilate, 10 new skill points to tweak their wastelander and three more backpack slots for all the loot they’ll be scrounging.
Borderlands is a Diablo-esque, post-apocalyptic shooter that came out last October. When I reviewed the game last year, I praised it for melding a slew of familiar videogame tropes into something new and, ultimately, comforting.
