Gearbox Software Announces New IP ‘Battleborn’

Gearbox Software, best known for the Borderlands franchise and notoriously known for Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines announced their newest franchise ‘Battleborn’ this morning.

From Gearbox Software’s Website:

We’re calling Battleborn a “hero shooter” in that it’s a first-person shooter focused on characters above all else. No first-person shooter has ever had this much character variety, and we’re excited for you to see the first batch of heroes today.

Battleborn involves our heroes – called the battleborn, conveniently enough – teaming up to fight the Varelsi, an unstoppable menace trying to destroy the last star in a dying universe. You can play with up to four friends in our five-player cooperative campaign, or try out one of several different competitive multiplayer match types in games of up to 10 players.

Heading to PS4, Xbox One and PC sometime in 2015 you can expect to hear more about Battleborn over the next few weeks as well. Keep it locked here on COG!
