As 2K’s Battleborn and its 25 playable heroes barrel toward launch day on May 3, 2016 we have some news with regards to the games Story Mode and the Open Beta which arrives next month.
Battleborn’s Story Mode is playable solo, 2-player splitscreen, or up to 5-players co-op online.
It 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 favorite 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:
You can read a lot more about Battleborn’s TV-style Story mode, including what players can earn and unlock by playing each episode, on the official Battleborn blog: https://battleborn.com/en/news/view/en-introducing-battleborns-tv-style-story/
You won’t have to wait to try out Battleborn’s episodic-style story either. The Battleborn Open Beta begins on April 8th on PS4 and April 13th on PC and Xbox One.
Jump in solo or grab some buddies for up to 5-player co-op and 2-player split-screen couch co-op while you play through two Story Mode episodes: The Algorithm and Void’s Edge. Experience the natural progression of the game as you rank up and unlock new heroes, skins, taunts, Helix mutations, and more during the Battleborn Open Beta.
