@GeneralKnoXX on Twitter
Gearbox Software created a Twitter account for General Knoxx to post previews of the game. Here are the images that were posted by @GeneralKnoXX:

Areas
New areas will include the "Parched Fathoms", a dried up lake area home to "T-Bone Junction" as well as other areas.

T-Bone Junction, a new friendly city, also the starting point of this DLC.

Lakebed, the floor of the dried up lake, inhabited by Drifters, and Skag riders etc.

Crimson Tollway, a long road controlled by the Crimson Lance, who have set up a roadblock here.

Trivia

 * The title of this DLC is a clear reference to Fort Knox in the U.S., which is synomymous with an impregnable fortress or building.
 * New, unique Crimson Lance gun drops are rumoured to happen from certain enemies.
 * It is also rumored that the download content will feature Sanctuary, a town/city often mentioned, yet not encountered thus far ingame.
 * The four new recruits inspected by General Knoxx ("kyros, typhon, theron, and ajax") are likely Lance class bosses:
 * Kyros may be a Siren; "Kairos" is an ancient Greek word meaning a moment in which something special happens (Wikipedia)
 * Typhon may be a Devastator; in Greek mythology Typhon was an enormous unstoppable Titan (Wikipedia)
 * Theron may be a Hunter; "Theron" means "hunter" in Greek (Wikipedia)
 * Ajax is a Lance Rocketeer; Ajax was a mythological Greek hero from Homer's Iliad and one of Helen's suitors (Wikipedia).
 * Athena, formerly of the Crimson Lance, is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, Athena.
 * Vulcana, a Lance Assassin, is named after the Roman god of the forge and fire, Vulcan.
 * The tagline in the trailer (Best. add-on. ever. of all time) may be a reference to the popular machinima Red vs Blue, in which a character says "That was the worst throw ever. Of all time" to Kaboose.
 * In the Secret Armory of General Knoxx logo there is a small 61 in the lower right corner, which represents the maximum reachable level of this DLC. May be this is a mark that will be put into practice into future DLCs to show the maximum level of that DLC. There is also another hint to think that 61 isn't going to be the last maximum level, and is that while 50 is an exact number, 61 is a pretty strange number for a maximum level and it's probably that it won't be the last.
