It's official: Borderlands 3 is coming to Steam on March 13! Gearbox's Dan Hewitt shared the much-anticipated news at the top of the show, adding that PC crossplay between Steam and the Epic Games Store will be possible thanks to some new SHiFT matchmaking functionality. Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock launches on March 26, and is included with the Borderlands 3 Season Pass and Super Deluxe Edition, just like Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot. Of course, expect plenty of new loot to chase after in this campaign, including additional Legendaries, supremely powerful Class Mods, and fresh cosmetic items like Vault Hunter Heads and Skins, interactive Room Decorations, and all-new Vehicle Skins. You'll have to contend with mutated, tentacled zealots who are unlike anything you've encountered in the Borderlands before, all in an attempt to get the chaotic celebration back on track. Getting everything prepped for the upcoming nuptials seems to be going smoothly-until one of the grooms crosses paths with a band of occultists who worship the Vault Monster's corpse. But, never one to leave friends in the lurch, she's graciously taken it upon herself to act as Wainwright and Hammerlock's wedding planner. Gaige, the genius Mechromancer from Borderlands 2's DLC, has been on the run as a wanted fugitive for years, accompanied by her loyal robot pal Deathtrap. Longtime Borderlands fans will be happy to see another familiar face when they touch down on Xylourgos. Those adventuresome lovebirds have chosen a venue that's as exotic as it gets the frozen wastes of Xylourgos have thinned out all but the most vicious wildlife, and the eerie town of Cursehaven where you've all agreed to meet is located beneath the colossal carcass of a fallen monster. Sir Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs are finally tying the knot, and they want you to come celebrate their upcoming nuptials on the ice planet of Xylourgos. Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock And those are just two highlights in the slate of content coming this spring and beyond! Here's a breakdown of all the big Borderlands news we shared during the show, so you can suitably prepare yourself for all the impending mayhem. Then, on March 26, you can dive into Borderlands 3's second campaign add-on for a surprisingly dangerous engagement party in Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock. On March 13, Borderlands 3 will launch on Steam, complete with PC crossplay with the Epic Games Store.
