Borderlands 2 will receive a sixth playable character class, as developer Gearbox Software is already working on this special add-on, at least according to its president, Randy Pitchford.

Borderlands 2 came out back in September and, since then, Gearbox has released quite a few add-ons for the shooter, including a fifth playable character, in the form of the Mechromancer, and two expansions, in the form of Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty as well as Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage.

Now, it seems that Gearbox is going to release a new DLC, which should include a sixth character.

According to the studio's President, Randy Pitchford, who talked with a fan on Twitter, Gearbox is working on another character.

As of yet, no other details are known but you can expect to hear something official soon enough.

the sixth playable character should be an archeologist that one day came in contact with an unknown artifact on a shut off world, unbeknownst to him he ventures unto its uninhabitable valleys and ominous mountains, he finds himself cursed with the ability to transform into a very fast, very strong beast-like creature that can claw through the very fabric of time and dash through the barriers of subspace travels to cause instant death upon the most worthiest of foes......... and so after he gains full controll of this curse he tries to find a cure for his illness but instead crash lands on pandora. hearing the rumors of the vault it intrigues his mind and wonders if all of the worllds were conected by it thus he sets out to find it........... And so the story of Sir Lucian Deadeye begins...

Sixth playable character? Probably an experiment. Skills? From what I saw in the video, he has some sort of Gauntlet on his arm, and is incredibly fast. So I assume his main focus will be on his claw arm, with elemental effects stacking up and perhaps something like Piston had.

It's a huge robot with a name like "Punch Drunk" or something like that and its skill is like bricks.
