Free Borderlands Patch Will Raise Level Cap to 69

Just announced at PAX 2010, a Borderlands patch being released around the same time as the upcoming Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution on September 28th and will raise the level cap to 69.

Instead of including the level cap raise with the DLC like in the past, Gearbox has apparently decided to make the patch free for all, regardless of whether or not you buy the new Claptrap stuff.  They have done this so players can pick and choose which DLC they want, and not have to feel like they need to buy it all in order to get the increased level cap. The current level cap (with the latest DLC) is 61. Look for Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution and the level cap patch sometime soon!!

    Are you sure?
    I’ve been checking http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/games/borderlands/ daily to see. So far no announcement.
    I’ll pop it in here in a bit to check, but the site doesn’t say anything.

    The suspense is killing me. I refuse to play another minet of that game with out it being rebalanced. It’s way to easy without the new patch thats coming out. Untill then, I’ll play halo reach peace out borderlands.
