According to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford in a live telephone interview, there will be plenty of non-Season Pass downloadable content coming to Borderlands 2, which will include the Mechromancer class update.
According to Pitchford, “We will have other, non-season pass related DLC. The additional character (Mechromancer) is one kind of example.”
“We created the ability in Borderlands 2 to add additional characters because we want to use that ability. The Mechromancer is the first one. I hope to do more. The success of the Mechromancer will help to define this. Our ambition and passion and our fans’ requests will also contribute to decision making about what we do.”
He reassured that the four expansion packs that are a part of the Season Pass will be the size of the massive The Secret Armory of General Knoxx pack.
The Merchomancer downloadable content will be released on the 16th October. No schedule has been revealed, however, for the Season Pass DLC yet.
