Battleborn’s TV-style Story Detailed

Posted on 24 Mar 2016 by

Battleborn is taking a unique spin on the shooter story – missions and events are structured similarly to a television show. Taking inspiration from X-Files, X-Men and Transformers, Battleborn will allow players to select any of the 25 characters of their choice to play through the story, with different dialogue depending on who is picked. Each level takes about an hour to play through, and can be played solo, local split-screen, or five-player online co-op. It is worth noting that Battleborn will require you to be online whether or not you’re in solo play, so people with unstable connections, be warned.

Battleborn’s open beta starts on April 13th for PC players, and runs until April 18th.


Official Press Release

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software revealed that  Battleborn’s Story Mode will take a TV-style approach to its format where you and your friends, as the commander of the  Battleborn , are the stars of every episode.

2K and Gearbox think of May 3rd as  Battleborn’s series premiere, because the game’s Story Mode is structured just like some of their favourite episodic television shows. Collectively, the “season” included with the game has one large over-arching story spanning eight episodes (plus a prologue), and each episode tells a self-contained story about your heroes’ fight to save the last star, Solus.

You can get a glimpse of this story in the new  Battleborn – Live Together or Die Alone Story Trailer, which can be downloaded or embedded using the links below.
