Luxy's Space Adventure (cancelled)
According to concept art from former 2K Australia concept artist Luke Viljoen, there was at least one additional campaign add-on planned for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Almost nothing is known about the tentatively titled Luxy's Space Adventure, with only concept art existing for the campaign.
Judging by the concept art, Luxy's Space Adventure was to be set aboard the intergalactic cruise ship Luxatainia, where the Vault Hunters were to have a well-deserved getaway, until space pirates boarded the ship, and the other passengers began to mutate into plant-like zombies.
It is unknown if Luxy's Space Adventure was an idea that was later replaced by Claptastic Voyage or was in development at 2K Australia following Claptastic Voyage's release and was cancelled due to their closure.
