Claptrap's new Robot Revolution is coming the 28th. Level 69! UPDATED with scaling info.

On September 28th, you will be able to download both the latest DLC for Borderlands (Claptrap's New Robot Revolution) and a free patch that boosts the level cap to 69. (That's 8 new levels if you already have the General Knoxx, but a whopping 19 if you don't.)

On October 12, you can buy the game and all 4 DLC in the Game of the Year edition for $60. Be sure to check back on Gouki.com for Deals, Jimmy!

It sounds like there will have to be some scalling of the main game to account for this new level cap. Here's hoping we see some level 69 Ass Kicking Skags soon.

I'm a little dissapointed they didn't put this out this week while we are all waiting for Reach, we're gonna be knee deep in the Reach still when this comes out I think... We'll see. More info coming soon!

[UPDATE Sep 7, 2010]

From an employee at the Gearbox forums:

Sorry guys. I was totally exhausted last night after PAX but now I'm on a plane (with Wifi!) and have time to clarify.

-People who do not own Knoxx will have a level cap of 58
-People who do own Knoxx will have a level cap of 69

The main game and DLC's will scale with level. The gear will scale.. Com Decks will be similar though to DLC3 as their item levels are different from others.

Main game and DLC require quests to be completed before enemies begin to scale. Most players will have already completed these when they get to that point.

Crawmermax will also scale to the new cap.

So yes if you play the main Borderlands game and you are 69.. the enemies will scale to 69

I'm almost as excited for this patch as I am for the DLC... More loot!

[UPDATE Sep 28]

Here's the trailer... No word on the patch yet.
