Battleborn is now free, but it surely couldn’t come at a worse time.
Battleborn is a MOBA-inspired group shooter with a cartoon aesthetic, a sci-fi backstory and a various array of characters boasting distinctive playstyles and talents.
Sounds acquainted, doesn’t it? Yes, and regardless of Gearbox getting in first with its announce, Overwatch buried Battleborn when the 2 video games launched a couple of weeks aside in May 2016.
It’s not honest responsible Blizzard completely for Battleborn’s failure since it had its own problems and no one appeared to know methods to message it, however there’s no denying the initially healthy-looking Battleborn community light away like morning mist when Overwatch arrived. One month after launch Take Two was already talking about not giving up on it, so issues should have been fairly dire.
Now Gearbox is having one other go at getting you to concentrate, and thanks to some major overhauls Battleborn is definitely worth a look – however oh, the timing on this one!
See, Battleborn is now free to play. Okay, no, Randy Pitchford technically didn’t fib; it’s a “free trial”, formally, but it surely offers you limitless entry to all of Battleborn’s aggressive multiplayer, and solely restricts you by providing a rotating forged of six heroes to play with every week. Sounds prefer it’s fairly … free … to play … however no matter.
I’m certain we’re all actually excited to dive in and have a crack at Battleborn this weekend, proper? But wait, what’s this? Overwatch is having a double XP event this weekend? Amazing!
Seriously although, it’s nice to see 2K and Gearbox giving Battleborn one other probability. Let’s hope it really works out better than Evolve did.
