Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced new details regarding upcoming premium content for Borderlands 4. During the latest Gearbox DevCast, the team debuted the first official look at the next Bounty Pack, Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions, launching July 30 alongside the Version 1.9 update. Additionally, a first look at Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort was shared ahead of its September 10 arrival.

Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions

Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions delivers all-new narrative content and high-tier gear as the latest piece of premium paid DLC. Arriving July 30, Bounty Pack 4 will be available in two parts for individual purchase: the core narrative expansion, Murders and Acquisitions, and Vault Card 4.

In Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions, players will venture through a polluted desert canyon known as the Toxic Scowl to assist Levaine, leader of the Electi, in settling a score between feuding Ripper factions: the pacifist commune known as The Flock and an aggressive group known as The Blasphemers. This all-new repeatable mission introduces choice-driven encounters that result in different dialogue, altered combat situations, and varied final boss fight assistance depending on the choices made.

Players can access this mission after the first encounter with Levaine in Carcadia Burn during the main campaign. Completing the mission unlocks a Vault Hunter Skin usable by all Vault Hunters, a Vehicle, and an ECHO-4 Drone Skin. Vault Hunters who are brave enough to take on the final boss and three mini-bosses in the Toxic Scowl will be rewarded with a chance at new exclusive loot including one new Pearlescent weapon and six new pieces of Legendary gear.

Available alongside the narrative content, Vault Card 4 allows players to earn desert-chic rewards, including 24 cosmetic items and four pieces of rerollable gear, through gameplay. Progression is driven entirely by experience gained through exploring Kairos, killing enemies, and completing Daily and Weekly Challenges. More information on rewards can be found in the blog here.

Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort, All-New Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker, and Bounty Pack 5

Launching September 10 alongside the Version 1.10 update, Story Pack 2 centres on the return of the legendary beastmaster and playable Vault Hunter from Borderlands 3. This all-new narrative campaign follows FL4K making their triumphant return and continuing The Hunt on Kairos to track down their missing skag companion Mr. Chew. The pursuit leads to a volcanic, overgrown resort on a lush jungle island where the Tediore corporation is beginning a covert invasion.

September 10 also marks the launch of an all-new playable Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker. Loveless is an ex-Anshin hacker turned assassin equipped with high-end cybernetics and a self-created digital virus that can digistruct into a physical extension of her will.

Kitten Space Agency debuts first look teaser video and soars past $200K contribution milestone

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – July 23, 2026 – It’s a celebratory time for Kitten Space Agency, the next giant leap for spaceflight gaming from award-winning development studio RocketWerkz.

The game received the NZX Most Innovative Hi-Tech Creative Technology Solution at the 2026 New Zealand Hi-Tech Awards, becoming the first video game to receive a Hi-Tech Award. The win recognises the project’s technical ambition, community-driven development model, and educational mission.

Additionally, it has now surpassed $200,000 USD in community contributions on Ahwoo and RocketWerkz launched its First Look Teaser video, captured from real-time pre-alpha gameplay. Kitten Space Agency is free to download on Ahwoo, with optional contributions allowing players to support development directly. The free spaceflight simulation game aims to make real-world orbital mechanics, rocketry, and spacecraft systems accessible to everyone. 

While community contributions currently cover around 2% of RocketWerkz’s total real-world development costs for Kitten Space Agency, they represent a healthy foundation for a project at its present stage. Those costs include not only the dedicated Kitten Space Agency team but also RocketWerkz’s Enterprise team, who are developing BRUTAL, the underlying framework that powers the game.

To achieve the scale and accuracy required for true space simulation, RocketWerkz engineered BRUTAL as its proprietary framework. Kitten Space Agency simultaneously simulates Kepler planetary dynamics and Newtonian physics across an entire solar system, allowing players to design intricate vehicles, simulate propulsion, plan long-duration trajectories, and execute precise orbital manoeuvres.

Development on Kitten Space Agency has been actively underway since mid-2024, with public pre-alpha build releases launching in November 2025. While the project is still in early pre-alpha, RocketWerkz has focused heavily on building the core fundamentals needed to support the game long-term, including orbital mechanics, spacecraft systems, vehicle simulation, modding, and large-scale space simulation.

“KSA is being built from the ground up, not only by our talented in-house team, but through the feedback and support of its passionate contributors,” said Dean Hall, CEO, RocketWerkz. “It represents a huge technical and community effort for the studio. We’re building the foundations carefully, working in public, and giving players the chance to be part of the project from the very beginning.”

Kitten Space Agency’s pre-alpha build is available to play now on Ahwoo. Support the mission by joining the developers on Discord, Reddit, and Ahwoo. Follow the team on X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube.

About RocketWerkz

RocketWerkz is an independent game studio founded by Dean Hall, known for Icarus, Stationeers, and Kitten Space Agency. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, the studio focuses on ambitious simulation projects that combine technical credibility with community collaboration.

About Ahwoo

Ahwoo is the platform that delivers Kitten Space Agency and enables its contribution model. Designed to support projects that do not fit traditional storefronts, Ahwoo provides a simple, transparent way for players to contribute directly to the work of game developers.

A Story Sewn With Secrets   
The Mountain of Ciudadela has been asleep for centuries. Its artifacts and advanced technologies have remained untouched, waiting for you to uncover what came before–and what follows. Explore ancient relics, awaken forgotten technology, and piece together the history of a civilization that evolved beyond the constraints of time. From sweeping Patagonian vistas to vast sci-fi caverns, Echoes From Ciudadela invites exploration at every turn. Its underground caverns shift and evolve from level to level, immersing players in echoes of centuries past. Along the way, you’ll recover legendary core artifacts forged by history’s greatest minds: Archimedes’ Drill, Da Vinci’s Crossbow, and Galileo’s Observation of the Moons. Reactivate long-dormant machines and uncover the secrets buried deep within the mountain.

Gameplay Features:

• Breathtaking Scenes: Adventure through Patagonian Vistas, moody caverns, sweeping fields, and more. 
• Engaging Interactive Environments: Environments are intentionally designed for unique interactions. The puzzles you encounter will progress your journey throughout Ciudadela. 
• First-Person Narrative Adventure: Experience 4-6 hours of gameplay as you piece together Katari’s father’s field logs and dig into the lore behind Ciudadela.
• Professional Voice Acting: Voice-acted narration guides the player through their journey and key discoveries. Clean delivery and natural pacing keep the story clear and accessible. 
• Pristine Sound Design: Spatial audio, responsive layers, and meticulous foley bring Ciudadela to life. Subtle mechanical cues and environmental ambiences double as readable hints without breaking immersion.
