A teaser from developer Gearbox shows the sixth Vault Hunter that will be added to Borderlands 2 soon, giving players an entirely new set of skills with which to approach the game.

The trailer was captured by Polygon off a screen at the recent SXSW Interactive event and will probably be officially revealed next week.

The video mentions that an experiment has escaped from deep under the planet of Pandora, but failed to give gamers a clear view of the new Vault Hunter character.

Since Borderlands 2 was launched in 2012, the team at Gearbox has made available a lot of downloadable content for the game in order to keep fans engaged.

It's unclear whether the new character will be covered by the Season Pass or whether all those interested in playing with him will have to pay for access.
