Earlier this month Randy Pitchford revealed that Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep would not be the last piece of downloadable content released for Borderlands 2.
Today during its PAX Australia panel, Gearbox Software announced the first details for the game’s fifth expansion pack, as well as outlining free feature updates on the way.
The new DLC pack, the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2, will add 11 extra levels to the current player cap, and a new Digistruct Peak Challenge(A New Map). The pack will also allow players to "over level" the game to make content more difficult for advanced players. No specific release date was given, but Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford confirmed that the pack will be out sometime before October 31 this year. The pack will not be included in the current season pass, and will cost $5. No previous DLC will be required to play.
A planned free update to Borderlands 2 is also set to increase the maximum amount of ammo players can carry, enhance the total number of available bank slots, and boost inventory capacity. All upgrades can be purchased using Eridium, the in-game upgrade resource.
The team also revealed upcoming DLC pack, T.K Baha’s Bloody Harvest. The content will include throwbacks to The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC released for the original Borderlands. The pack will conclude with a boss battle against pumpkin creature, Jacques O’Lantern.
Gearbox also went on to say that they plan on fixing the heads and skins to the TTAoDK DLC "soonish". Pitchford confirmed that while some DLC has been in development since Borderlands 2 went on sale, beyond today's announcement, the team is aiming to release one or two more packs in the future.

Maybe I will be smart and farm for torque tokens, iridium and seraph crystals to help with leveling up. It took me at least a month and a hal to bring my 3 VHs to 61.
Fantastic news, all of it.
Now I need more friends to help get my level 9/ lvl 13/ lvl 17/ lvl 26/ lvl 43/ lvl 52 characters up higher. Any takers?
I will be home all day today and most likely be playing bl2. I've got a lvl 11, lvl 23, lvl 51 I'm working on. If you see me on let's play! Maybe we can get a cool 4 person party today at some point. I've also got a low-level commando as well...just not sure what level... under 20 I think.
Cap goes to 72 next week

Up to lvl 72 and can over level to 80... Wholly Friggin' FleshStick!!!
I'm in! I've got to get a Siren and Commando moving up the ranks before the new content DLC.
Ugh....and I just got my 1st run Siren past the Warrior today. I love being way behind on everything.
I got my Siren up to level 66 today and scored 3 of the new Legendary class mods. Two nurse and one binder, all from chubby/tubby creatures.
I'll hopefully be picking up the level upgrade this weekend. I've FINALLY gotten to work through Tiny Tina's Expansion, and man is that fun!
The upgrade is lots of fun. I now have a assassin at 68 who's looking for new gear. It's a chore, but a fun chore.
