The DLC adds a new galaxy destination with unique casino zones that are as gaudy and opulent as Handsome Jack would have wanted. Moxxi has a crew of her own that players will be working with, and the campaign missions will focus on the ultimate, space casino heist. The DLC will be included in the season pass and deluxe edition.Along with the main story mission, there will be side missions and Crew Challenges, as well as new enemies and bosses. There may even be some enemies that players haven’t seen in awhile, considering Handsome Jack’s casino used to be a Hyperion stronghold.
Players can expect to find new cosmetics, customization items, weapon trinkets, an ECHO Device skin, and emotes. Alongside the usual weapon loot, of course.
