We appreciate your understanding, and we’re excited for you to play Director’s Cut when it releases next month.

As a reminder, the Borderlands 3 Director’s Cut DLC will add new content to the game. Hemovorous the Invincible Varkid will appear as a raid boss. People can help investigate oddities for Ava’s Mysteriouslier podcast in new missions. There will also be the first three Vault Cards to provide new challenges.

Borderlands 3 is available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. There are also PS5 and Xbox Series X updates. The Borderlands 3 Director’s Cut DLC will arrive on April 8, 2021.

Gearbox released a new character introduction trailer for Borderlands 3, featuring Amara, who is described as a “powerful brawler, renowned champion of the people, and bonafide Siren badass.”  

Amara the Siren is a well-renowned hero to the people, but Borderlands 3 is her chance to shine as a badass Vault Hunter. Using her supernatural Siren abilities, Amara pulverizes her enemies with astral projections, pounding them into a bloody pulp with fists formed from pure energy. We’re taking a top-level look at Amara’s three distinct skill trees—Fist of the Elements, Mystical Assault, and Brawl—to help you decide which build best suits your preferred playstyle. But no matter which way you go, Amara will absolutely bring the beatdowns.

  Amara’s play-style revolves around the “Fist of the Elements” with actions that involve dealing elemental damage with astral fists. Using the Phasegrasp Action Skill, you can lock an enemy and crush them with a giant astral fist as well. Her Fist of the Elements skill tree has various ways of amplifying elemental damage. Read more about Amara over at the official website.   Borderlands 3 releases on September 13, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out the previous character trailers with Zane and Moze.

Gearbox shared the latest trailer for Borderlands 3 and it introduces us to one of its playable characters, Zane, who is described as a semi-retired corporate hitman with plenty of experience and gadgets.  

Zane the Operative is Borderlands 3’s resident tech expert, with an ingenious gadget at the ready for any life-or-death situation. Zane can equip two Action Skills at once, though choosing to do so will replace his ability to toss grenades. To help you decide if Zane is the right Vault Hunter for you, here’s a brief overview of his three skill trees: Doubled Agent, Hitman, and Under Cover. Will your Zane build be worthy of the Flynt family name?

  One of his unique abilities is “Digi-Clone” which allows Zane to equip two Action Skills. The Doubled Agent ive tree of his provides bonus gun damage when both Action Skills are active. You can read more about Zane and his abilities over at the official website.   Borderlands 3 releases on September 13, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

  Following the first reveal of Borderlands 3 gameplay, the new voice actor for a returning character has been revealed. Someone known for royal roles like Noctis in Final Fantasy XV and Roy in Fire Emblem will be voicing Tales from the Borderlands‘ Rhys: Ray Chase.   Chase confirmed his role as Rhys in a tweet on Twitter, where he shares a screenshot of the character as he appears in Borderlands 3. He also noted that he was inspired by Troy Baker’s appearance as Rhys and that he played through all of Tales from the Borderlands.

I’m honored to announce that I play mustache Rhys in Borderlands 3.

I played all of TftB and greatly ired @TroyBakerVA‘s hilarious performance – his work is a true inspiration to me! I’m not a perfect voice match, but a new interpretation. I sincerely hope you enjoy! pic.twitter.com/nbgESmBOXv — Ray Chase (@RayChase) May 1, 2019

  After the Borderlands 3 reveal, there was a bit of controversy about the Rhys voice actor. When Baker was at Supanova Melbourne 2019, he said Rhys wasn’t played by him and made comments that suggested he would have wanted to return to play the character. Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox Software, then said in a tweet that “I was told by the audio director that [Baker] turned [the role] down.” Baker then said in an Only SP interview that wasn’t the case.   Borderlands 3 will arrive on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 13, 2019.
