Borderlands 2 is only a few short weeks away and no one is more excited about this than us! Gearbox has been showing off the 5th playable character, but has yet to give us an exact release date – until now. The Mechromancer will hit marketplaces roughly about a month after the Borderlands 2 September 18th release date. The Mechromancer will be $10 (or 800 MSP) when she arrives on the marketplace October 16th. Or depending on where you pre-ordered the game, you will get her free as a redeemable code.

For those unfamiliar with the Mechromancer, you can check out our coverage here.

In addition to the Mechromancer, Gearbox has also announced a Season Pass for $30 – which will include four add-ons.

Again, Borderlands 2 launches September 18th and the Mechromancer DLC will hit October 16th. So who’s excited? I know many of you have been following this game for a while, who are you planning on as your starter character?
