The first piece of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel,
the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack, will add Handsome Jack, the
villain from Borderlands 2, as a playable character, Gearbox and 2K
Australia have announced.
Technically, you're
not playing as Handsome Jack himself, but his body double. As "Jack,"
you'll be able to summon multiple "Digi-Jacks" that will fight for you,
and they can get special abilities depending on how you upgrade you
skill tree. "Jack" can also shoot enemies with wrist lasers, get buffs
every time he picks up money, and get special upgrades for using guns
made by specific manufacturers.
Gearbox and 2K
Australia say they've been working on DLC for the game since they
completed the main game. The other three pieces of DLC included in the
Season Pass are still in development, but the plan is to add another
playable character, raise the level cap, and add a new campaign.
You
can buy the DLC packs separately at $10 a piece, or get the
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season Pass, which will get you all the DLC
as it's released for $30 total.
