Borderlands 2 Isn't Getting Another Season Pass

Gearbox has confirmed that there won't be a second Season Pass offered for Borderlands 2, as gamers prefer the freedom of choosing which bundles they download.

Speaking to Polygon, the developer reiterated that it won't be offering all future DLC for a one-time fee, despite just announcing a new level cap, missions and raid bosses.

In a statement, Gearbox explained, "In April we celebrated the success of Borderlands 2 by thanking our most passionate fans, the Season Pass holders, by including the first Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack in the Season Pass. We were excited to give Season Pass holders $45 of value instead of the original promise of $40.

Fans are happy with an a la cart menu for DLC because they can pick and choose the content that they most want.

"Through the course of our grand experiment, we've also learned that fans are happy with an a la cart menu for DLC because they can pick and choose the content that they most want to buy and really customize their Borderlands 2 experience.

"They're voting with their wallets — and we are grateful that there are enough of them asking that we can justify the cost of developing the content."

The original Borderlands 2 Season Pass included four add-on campaigns, which many assumed meant there would be no more DLC for the title following the recent release of Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. While this has turned out not to be the case, it does seem you're going to have to pick and choose which future DLC bundles you go for on a case-by-case basis
