The fifth character class for Borderlands 2 arrives today, in the form of the Mechromancer.

The character was supposed to arrive on October 16th, but Gearbox announced today that she’ll be making her debut a week early.

"So - here's the surprise, Mechromancer for Borderlands 2 is ready about a week earlier than I promised. Oct 9, all platforms. Woo," tweeted Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford.

The DLC is available for free to anyone who pre-ordered Borderlands 2 through retailers. For everyone else it’ll cost £7.99.

You can find out more info about the character, called Gaige, here.

@3 The DLC link in-game doesn't show the pass either, use the Store proper. Also, I wouldn't expect the UK to be updated until this afternoon.

I personally think it'll hit the EU/UK tomorrow, yanks tend to have region-blindness when it comes to announcements.

I just checked IGN and they said American today and the rest of the world to be updated. So probably the 16th for us.

Is there a title update associated with this DLC as well? Also, any new trophies? Either way, I get it for free because I pre-ordered :D

@7
I think the in-game option for DLC is just for when you've downloaded the content so it can update the game, also if Lee Bradley is American why did he put the price of the DLC in Sterling and not Dollars? But yeah sounds like your right and PS3trophies once again forgot to mention that it's out today just for the US.

@10 Lee's a Brit, I was talking about Randy Pitchford. I was a little confused about that DLC option, I would have presumed that Gearbox would try to give their available content, such as the season pass, as much coverage as possible. I'm sure there are plenty of BL2 players who would have already bought the pass but haven't checked PSN recently. I reckon every game should have an in-game Store interface like BF3.

Either way I don't care, I'd rather PS3trophies check their facts first before making statements like this. It's annoying to set people up like this especially when you've been waiting for it come out. I know I may sound rude and offensive but it's still annoying. Randy Pitchford also should have been aware that when he said we all get it today, some people in other countries will just assume he means them as well.

The most annoying part is that the XBOX got it in the EU so are Sony really that anal that we get it tomorrow?! Would it be so fucking hard to just put it up today as ONE SINGLE DOWNLOAD. One little download, nope the update day is tomorrow so guess we can't have it today. Yeah I sound hysterical over one piece of DLC but it's annoying.
