NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–2K and Gearbox Software today announced that Battleborn®,
the new first-person hero-shooter from the creators of Borderlands®,
is now available worldwide for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system, Xbox One, and Windows PC.


Set in the distant future, Battleborn
is a first-person shooter
featuring 25 unique playable heroes who
form an unlikely alliance to save the last star in the universe from a
mysterious enemy hell-bent on its destruction.

The game combines highly-stylized visuals with Gearbox’s
industry-leading co-operative combat, and offers a wealth of content in
which to play its expansive collection of 25 diverse heroes, including a
narrative-driven story mode and three different competitive multiplayer
modes.

Regardless of the mode being played, players will experience deep and
customizable character growth for all 25 playable heroes, each with
their own unique weapons, powers and personality.

“Gearbox Software has done it again, inventing an exciting new subgenre
and ushering in the dawn of the hero-shooter,” said Christoph Hartmann,
president of 2K. “Like the beloved Borderlands franchise, Battleborn
is packed-full of Gearbox’s signature humor, deep and fun gameplay, an
engaging episodic story, and tons of replayability.”

Battleborn is the result of five years of passionate,
driven creativity and inventiveness from a team of the best group of
game developers I could ever hope to have the pleasure of working with,”
said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. “The fact that the
team cannot stop playing Battleborn after the countless hours
we’ve put into honing the experience with beta testers, is a testament
to the quality and fun of the game. Everyone at Gearbox Software is so
excited to begin playing the game with everyone around the world.”

Battleborn’s
story mode
is a multi-chapter narrative experience that can be
played alone or co-operatively by up to five friends splitscreen* and
online. Each chapter is like an episode of a television show, with each
episode’s unique plot both standing on its own and pushing the
overarching story of the game forward.

The game’s three different competitive multiplayer modes can be played
by up to 10 players online in action-packed 5v5 matches, and includes
three distinct multiplayer modes.

  • Capture: Teams of heroes face off in a fast-paced death match
    and must capture and hold objectives on the map to win;
  • Meltdown: Teams of heroes must guide their minions, as they
    march to their death at the center of the map. Points are scored for
    every minion who throws themselves into the incinerator, and the team
    with the most points wins;
  • Incursion: Teams of heroes must defend their base sentry bots
    from waves of AI-controlled minions while working together alongside
    their own minions to destroy their opponent’s sentry bots.

2K and Gearbox Software recently announced details surrounding the
downloadable content offerings in Battleborn, with five
add-on packs to be released post-launch – each containing a PvE Story
Operation, exclusive skins and taunts. Players may purchase all five
add-on packs through the game’s Season Pass for $19.99, a savings of
$4.95 versus buying all five packs individually.

In addition, the Battleborn Digital Deluxe Edition is now
available for $74.99 and includes:

  • Battleborn the game;
  • Season Pass with all five DLC packs and instant access to heroes 26-30
    upon their release;
  • Taunts for Oscar Mike, Miko, Caldarius, Phoebe, and Orendi;
  • “Cyber” character skin for Oscar Mike, Miko, Caldarius, Phoebe, and
    Orendi;
  • 3 Legendary Gear packs;
  • Golden pedestal during character select;
  • Golden Battleborn logo on title screen.

2K and Gearbox will also be supporting the game post-launch with many
free content updates that include five new playable heroes, bringing the
total roster to 30, and additional competitive multiplayer modes, maps,
balance updates and community features.

Battleborn is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and is
available now for the PS4™ system, Xbox One, and PC. For more
