Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett DLC releases October 16

As we reported yesterday, some clever devils had ferreted out evidence of the Borderlands 2 DLC by digging through PS3 trophies and Steam files. Official confirmation has now been made: the "Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty" DLC will arrive October 16, and take place in the new and counter-intuitively arid location of Oasis. Despite the piratical theme, according to Gearbox's head man, Randy Pitchford, the location "is more like Tatooine than an ocean". A new vehicle, the sand-skiff, should feature along with giant sand worms and a new currency, seraph crystals.
