<p>The level cap in Borderlands is reportedly being <a href="http://kotaku.com/5630722/borderlands-level-cap-going-up-for-free">raised to 69 within the next few weeks</a>, according to various reports around the web from PAX10. Although, it seems that for gamers without the Knoxx DLC the level cap will only be raised to 58.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The level cap will now be 69," Pitchford said. "That's the magic number." He said the cap will come out close to the late-October release of the Borderlands Game of the Year edition.<br />
<br />
Pitchford said that the studio felt that they couldn't go up a full 11 levels, as they did through the paid downloadable content, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, because they didn't want to put another level cap increase in paid DLC. The way that Borderlands DLC is structured, he said, would have required that anyone who would want to get the new level cap from new paid DLC would have had to buy all of the previous Borderlands DLCs as well. No good. Pitchford said Gearbox wanted all players to enjoy this raise of the level cap.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The patch that raises the level cap will be released for all three platforms and include balance tweaks and bug fixes again.</p>
