Battleborn

Battleborn is a next-gen hero-shooter brought to you by the creators of the award-winning and best-selling Borderlands franchise.

In Battleborn’s distant future, the only hope for the last star in a dying universe is a new breed of warriors, who must put aside their differences to drive back an unstoppable menace. Choose from a myriad of powerful heroes and fight together alongside your friends in an intense co-operative campaign, or battle against them in fast-paced competitive multiplayer matches.

This tremendous heroes fight to protect the universe's very last star from a mysterious evil in this next-gen shooter by the creators of Borderlands. To defend it, you'll need to utilize every type of character and weapon you've ever imagined; from cyborg hawkmen to samurai vampires to mini-gun wielding man-mountains.

Take control of 25 vastly different heroes, each one with their own personality, equipped with unique weapons and powers. Slash and parry, run and gun, cast and dash, or simply obliterate foes all while building and growing your personal team of heroes. Play with 1-5 Players Online, 5-Player co-op, or in Splitscreen (up to 2 players) and online. Earn experience points in every game mode to level-up individual heroes; Character Rank, as well as your own player profile Command Rank.

Experience team-based competitive multiplayer action with up to 10 players online in 5v5 matches across three distinctly different modes; Incursion, Devastation, and Meltdown.
