Exclusive: Borderlands Second DLC Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot

Some more clues about Borderlands second downloadable content package. The site Fragland.net briefly posted some details about Madd Moxxi's Underdome Riot but then quickly took them down. We've obtain the text of the original article though and pasted it below. (Thanks Slayer 8077 for the heads up).

Why would Fragland post this article and then take it down? One possibility is that they jumped some sort of embargo and talked about the game too early.

Gearbox Software`s first DLC for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, has just been released and Randy Pitchford has already announced a new part

The new adventure on Pandora will be called Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot and will have three new Riot Arenas. Next to that several storage spaces will be available where you can safely store all your favorite weapons (probably over 100.000) without having to sell them.

Little is known about the story at this moment but Gearbox did say that the DLC will be available on Xbox Live as of December 29th for 800 Microsoft points while PS3 lovers will have to wait until January 7th to get it from PSN for $9,99. Whether the DLC will also become available for the PC version is yet unknown.

The article was orginally posted at this link on Fragland but it was returning an error as for 9:20 AM this morning.

Another strange clue, the only mention of this on the official Gearbox forums has been locked with no explanation.

Gearbox is trying to keep a tight lid on information about the second DLC but hasn't had much luck so far. You'll recall yesterday that information about the second DLC's trophies was leaked.

The picture above came via the Jon Venture. We're still trying to verify this is actually from the game and not a fake.

UPDATE: Gearbox and publisher 2k have confirmed that Mad Moxxi's will be the second Borderlands expansion. It will be available on December 29, 2009 from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points and on January 7, 2010 from the PlayStation Network for $9.99.

More details:

Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot is an intense single-player or cooperative experience that expands the mayhem by adding three new Riot Mode arenas where players will endure an onslaught of Pandora’s baddest enemies. Working together, players will fend off the masses as they fight for fame, honor, and more importantly, loot.

Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot also adds a new bank feature, which allows players extra storage capacity for when they encounter one of the more than 16 million weapons that Borderlands has to offer; and the ability to acquire two additional skill points as quest rewards, making their characters even more powerful than before.
