In an interview with VG247, Neuman answered questions relating to downloadable content, the chances of a sequel, and why there was no demo.

When asked about the creative process for their upcoming DLC - due November 24th - it turns out Mike had a pretty down-to-earth answer:

That said there’s no such luck on the aspect of New DLC or upping the level cap.

We basically just killed ourselves to make some additional content for people, because, I mean, right now, if you look around, there are already people who are like, “I’m level 50 because I haven’t stopped playing for three days straight!” We’re kind of bending over backwards and killing ourselves a little too much to try to satiate that need for more Borderlands.

Which is really cool! It’s just kind of scary when people want content that badly.

However, I’d be pretty surprised if the DLC stopped at The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. As long as the first DLC gets a decent amount of purchases, it’s likely they’ll follow up with another: imagine if, for instance, Fallout just released Operation Anchorage. Weird thought. Not to say they’re very similar games, but the aspect is the same: These days, DLC comes in bunches.

Neuman would later also tackle the question of why there was no Borderlands Demo. He actually had a pretty good answer for it, too.

He was also pretty much spot on: word-of-mouth certainly helped boost the sales and reputation of Borderlands . I’d heard of it from friends before actually going to see it at my own brother’s place. It’s not often a game can forgo release a demo and still have a commercial success like Borderlands did. It is, indeed, a success - which brings us to the final question of if a Borderlands Sequel is on the horizon:

Borderlands is just such an expansive game. So many things can happen at any time. It’s really hard to truncate that down to some bite-sized, “Here’s why you should buy the game” section.

I’m hoping that people are giving each other demos. Skeptical friends are coming over and checking out the game in split-screen, and maybe getting a demo that way. Because word-of-mouth has just been nuts since the game came out.

So there you have it. Nothing official yet, but it sounds like Gearbox certainly wouldn’t mind it.

But yeah, Borderlands is really exciting. Everyone here loves the franchise, and it seems like the public is really coming back with praise and love. So yeah, if everything makes sense, Borderlands 2 seems like a no-brainer to me.

Are you excited for the Borderlands DLC? How did you find out about Borderlands? And most importantly - did you like the game enough to be interested in a sequel?
