What’s next: Harlowe finale and a new Vault Hunter tease

The studio notes that Harlowe players will get the finale in this run of Community Challenges next week – no exact date was provided. In parallel, a teaser introduces C4SH, described as the first of two new Vault Hunters planned for the game’s paid Story Pack DLCs. Release timing for these Story Packs remains to be announced.

Bottom line – what it means for players

Vex mains get a tangible cosmetic reward for a large-scale community push, while everyone else gets a clearer sense of the near-term calendar: a Harlowe-focused finale and early signals on the next Vault Hunter. If you participated – or plan to style Vex later – redeem the SHiFT code before December 31, 2030 and keep an eye on the Harlowe event and the C4SH reveal timeline.
