Gearbox Reveals New Details For Borderlands 4 And Risk of Rain 2 Expansion Pack

The Gearbox Main Theater Show at PAX East 2025 just wrapped up and the Risk of Rain 2 and Borderlands 4 development teams took the stage to deliver exciting new announcements, offering fans an in-depth look at what’s next for both franchises.

Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective DLC Unveiled

The Risk of Rain 2 devs took a moment to celebrate six incredible years of their iconic third-person roguelike shooter, where players team up (or go solo) to survive alien worlds, snatch up powerful gear, and uncover hidden secrets. With two major DLCs already behind us, Survivors of the Void and Seekers of the Storm, the journey continues.

Introducing: Alloyed Collective, the third major expansion, officially revealed on stage!

This DLC cranks the danger up a notch, throwing players deeper into the untamed, Solus-dominated wilderness of Petrichor V. What’s even better, is that only one player needs to own the DLC to unlock the full suite of new content Stages, Monsters, and Items for everyone in the lobby.

Here’s what’s packed into Alloyed Collective:

• 6 New Stages – Traverse scrapyard cliffs, labyrinthine fortresses, and subterranean ruins as you venture deeper into Solus territory, facing treacherous terrain and hazards at every turn.
• 2 Playable Survivors – One fan-favorite makes a comeback while a mysterious new contender joins the roster—both designed for the escalating chaos ahead.
• 7 Unique Drones – Customize your combat style with powerful new Drone companions, including a new station to tailor them to your strategy.
• 7 Fierce Enemies – The Solus are evolving—and their new biomechanical horrors are out for blood.
• Massive Boss Fights – Prepare for a jaw-dropping Teleporter encounter and a game-changing final boss that rewrites the rules.
• 15 Fresh Items – Expand your build potential with new UES tech and lost gear waiting to be claimed.
