Borderlands 4 has set its near-term DLC schedule, confirming two drops across February and March. Bounty Pack 2: Legend of the Stone Demon arrives on February 26 and will be accompanied by a major title update.

In March, the first story expansion, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, follows with a new region of Kairos, fresh story missions, and the first new Vault Hunter for the game, C4SH. According to the official roadmap, this is the second of five planned Bounty Packs and the first of two Story Packs.

Bounty Pack 2 – Legend of the Stone Demon

The second post-launch Bounty Pack lands on February 26. While full content specifics will be detailed closer to release, the pack launches alongside system-level changes that expand the endgame chase. The team also notes that certain Pearlescent items will be exclusive to Bounty Pack 2, distinguishing its loot pool within the new rarity tier.
