UPDATE: More details were just updated by way of the MTV Multiplayer blog.
This sounds like a far more substantial update now that it isn't merely three new arenas from the original game type.
Original: 2K Games has revealed the second upcoming DLC pack for Borderlands today. The next DLC pack will introduce more arenas, a bank system, and additional skill points among other features. Here are the full details for "Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot" DLC pack.
Xbox 360 owners can pick up this DLC on December 29 for $9.99 (USD). PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait until January 7 and PC owners do not yet have an ETA on when they can play the second DLC pack.
This is totally different...basically the idea is that we have this character, Moxxi. She's running this underground coliseum tournament arena thing. The best thing you could compare it to is either Horde mode in 'Gears of War 2' or Firefight mode in 'ODST.' But even those don't quite sum it up.
"It's all about this crazy Moxxi character, and she's running these tournaments. You go in and fight waves and rounds of monsters, and then she starts changing it all up. She throws out what are called 'Moxxi Maxims,' these rules that dramatically change the way the game play. She'll be like, 'Vampire Rule!' which makes it so that the player's health is constantly draining, but every time you get a kill you get a whole bunch of health back. Now all the players are like, 'Holy crap, I have to play amazingly aggressive,' so you have to charge in before you basically bleed out. Another example, she'll go 'Shotgun Challenge,' where all shotguns do bonus damage and all other guns take a penalty.

Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is an intense single-player or cooperative experience that expands the mayhem by adding three new Riot Mode arenas where players will endure an onslaught of Pandora's baddest enemies. Working together, players will fend off the masses as they fight for fame, honor, and more importantly, loot. Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot also adds a new bank feature, which allows players extra storage capacity for when they encounter one of the more than 16 million weapons that Borderlands has to offer; and the ability to acquire two additional skill points as quest rewards, making their characters even more powerful than before.
