Ready to say goodbye to sanity, Vault Hunter? Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, the fourth campaign add-on for Borderlands 3, will send you on a savage and surreal journey into madness starting September 10.

Brilliant scientist Patricia Tannis may have cracked one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries: what makes the Borderlands' psychos so uniformly deranged? She believes the answer lies with Vaulthalla, a mythical place that induces insanity in all who learn its true nature. Of course, your average psycho isn't going to peacefully sit still and share Vaulthalla's secrets, so the closest you can get to a willing participant is Krieg, a fellow Crimson Raider and the most badass psycho there is.



Problem is, Krieg's not the best communicator, what with all his aggressive, barely coherent screaming. Using technology that lesser intellects couldn't possibly comprehend, Tannis is beaming you and your fellow Vault Hunters directly into Krieg's consciousness so you can discover Vaulthalla for yourself. You'll need to team up with both of Krieg's opposing personas—a raging murder machine and a calm inner voice—if you want any chance of surviving his twisted, meat-filled mindscapes and reaping Vaulthalla's rewards.

Now that you've had a taste of Krieg's psychedelic inner world, make sure you don't miss this campaign add-on's gameplay reveal premiering as part of IGN's gamescom Studio showcase this Saturday, August 29 around 1:25 PM PT (4:25 PM ET / 9:25 PM BST). You should also tune in for a special episode of the Bordercast over on the Borderlands Twitch page later today, August 25 at 1 PM PT (4 PM ET / 9 PM BST) or catch the VOD on YouTube, featuring Borderlands Show co-host Fran Mirabella and Game Director Maxime Babin discussing everything to do with this new campaign add-on. Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck will launch on September 10 and is included as part of the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition and the Season Pass.

Today in Borderlands 3, we kick off the Borderlands 3 Anniversary Celebration Show Me The Eridium event and have made some adjustments to various pieces of gear! These changes and the accompanying event will be live on all platforms by 12:00 PM PST. To apply hotfixes, wait at the main menu until you see a sign that says “Hotfixes Applied”! If you are experiencing any issues or want to provide feedback, please submit a ticket to support.2k.com.
