Borderlands 3 Handsome Jack Appears in DLC Teaser

Borderlands 3 and Handsome Jack seem set to reunite, if the teaser trailer for the game's first story DLC is to be believed.

Borderlands 3 Handsome Jack Appears in DLC Teaser

Handsome Jack was Borderlands 2's main antagonist, who cast himself as the hero in a manic attempt at auto-hagiography. His outsize personality and striking appearance made him a fan favorite among the community, prompting returns in both Tales from the Borderlands and in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Players kill Handsome Jack at the end of Borderlands 2, so Gearbox could hardly revive him for Borderlands 3. Instead, they filled the game with references to him, including a side mission delving into his backstory.

Now, Borderlands 3 is about to receive its first bit of story DLC. Gearbox released the first teaser for the expansion Thursday, and it opened on an image of Handsome Jack's face before tracking backward to reveal Opportunity, the Jack's supposed utopia. A narrator fans have identified as Borderlands 2 character Mad Moxxi then asks players if they're "ready to bring down the house."

Gearbox will reveal the full DLC Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. ET.
