March 26 is gearing up to be a big day for Borderlands 4 players with the launch of Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned Story Pack, a major update, and now, a big level upgrade. Despite a number of fan frustrations and controversies surrounding Borderlands 4 following its launch in 2025, Gearbox has hit the ground running in 2026 to keep players happy. March is proving to be a big month already, following the launch of the second Bounty Pack and the upcoming launch of the game's first expansion.
After a tease early in February, Gearbox has fully revealed Borderlands 4's first Story Pack as Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned. Launching on March 26, the premium content is offering players a new campaign featuring a bunch of new and returning characters like Ellie, Mancubus Bloodtooth, Pickle, Crazy Earl, and more. Naturally, there will be plenty of new cosmetics and loot to discover, including legendary and pearlescent rarity gear while players work through the new map known as the Whispering Glacier. However, new content is only part of the story for March 26 as Gearbox is also planning on dropping a major update as well....
