Gearbox Software promised more Headhunter DLC packs for Borderlands 2 in 2013, and the studio makes good on that promise next week with the November 26 release of The Horrible Hunger of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler (via 2K Blog). The pack is coming to all platforms that Borderlands 2 is available on – PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 – with a price of $3.

While these Headhunter packs aren’t nearly on the same scale as the bigger $10 ones, you get a couple of hours of fresh Borderlands 2 gameplay (and loot, of course) for only a few dollars. The setup for the latest combat-plus-a-boss gauntlet is an annual “hunger-themed competition to hunt down a giant turkey” known as the Wattle Gobbler. The whole thing is hosted by Mister Torgue, which creates an opportunity for us to meet some of the extended Torgue family, specifically “super buff” Grandma Flexington (awesome).

It sounds like there’s one more Headhunter pack due for release in 2013 as well. The 2K Blog post teases the upcoming DLC with a title: How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day. Expect to hear more about that one in the coming weeks.

New Atari 50 DLC shows the Intellivision acquisition is already paying off
An Atari 2600+ sits on a table.

Digital Eclipse's Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is an excellent and comprehensive look back at the company's now classic video game lineup, with games to play and extra content to interact with. So far, it's gotten one DLC: The Wider World of Atari, that added even more titles. Now, it's about to get its second, thanks to an acquisition it made earlier this year.

Atari announced The First Console War on Friday, and it's about, as you can guess, the company's first console war with the Intellivision, although it'll touch on a specific element of it. In the 1980s, Mattel was publishing games on the Intellivision. At some point, it decided to release versions of these console exclusives for its main competitor, the Atari 2600, under the M Network label. There are 19 of these games coming to Atari 50 with The First Console War, which is set to launch on November 8 for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 Atari 50 owners.
