Release Date: May 3rd, 2016

A unique look and variety of gameplay is what makes Battleborn stand out among the many titles to come this year. Gearbox has been hard at work throwing this title together, and the latest information makes it one to watch.

In basic terms, this is a first person shooter with MOBA elements; each player starts with reset levels and progressively gets stronger as the game time lengthens. Each unique character will have their own skill tree to progress to the player's desired playstyle. With 25 different characters at initial release, that is a lot of variety on the battlefield ranging from support roles to offensive sharpshooters.

For the solo player at heart, a campaign will also be available, including the ability to play four player co-op. Incursion, Arena, Meltdown; there are a multitude of different game modes ranging from objective based capture to sacrificing of robot minions to appease a god.

The whacky, wonderful nature of Battleborn makes it a standout among the rest. From the large amount of game modes to the huge lineup of heroes, this will be a game to keep in mind this May.
