The folks at Gearbox Software graciously provided an open beta session for the company’s upcoming new game, Battleborn, ahead of the title’s release early next month. The open beta, from the creators of Borderland, was a decent enough demo that provided a nice slice and sampling of gameplay. So far, there’s quite a bit to like. Battleborn appears to be a decent mash-up of many different and familiar game genres. It’s part first-person shooter, part online multiplayer RPG and part multiplayer online battle arena. In addition, it’s been given a nice sprinkle of Gearbox’s trademark humor and panache to make something very interesting and possibly unique. In Battleborn, the players take the role of an elite ragtag band of heroes called the “Battleborn.” These heroes are the last line of defense for Solus, the last living star in the universe. A group of evil, shadowy aliens called the Varelsi are staging a campaign to obliterate the last star, with help from the nefarious Lothar Rendain. Players take control of the

Gearbox Software and 2K Games have released the latest trailer for the upcoming MOBA first-person shooter Battleborn. You can check out the new “Rendain” trailer in the player below. The video is presented as an official transmission from the office of the game’s villain, the Lord Commander Lothar Rendain, who is threatening the denizens of the last star in the galaxy. He’s sending a direct message to the remaining citizens of the Solus System and the 25 Battleborn “heroes” who are challenging his mission to snuff out the last star. The trailer definitely features a lot of the trademark Gearbox sense of humor that looks to have been imbued in Battleborn as well. The video also shows off new gameplay footage as well as Battleborn heroes who will be in the game. As dangerous as Lothar is, it is amusing that he still has a bit of an eccentric and goofy side. Even he admits that the Battleborn heroes have some “pretty cool” blades. The game’s unique art and design

Gearbox’s next big project, Battleborn, was on full display for attendees to play at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. This title was getting a great deal of positive buzz online, so I was very curious to finally check it out and see what the game is really about. Based on the playable demo that was available, Battleborn appears to be an eclectic mix of multiple game genres. It is hard to really classify the title. It definitely has a different play style and feel than a game like Borderlands. However, it absolutely has the signature Gearbox style and sense of humor that is very reminiscent of Borderlands. Overall, the demo was a fun and interesting experience during the Expo. In Battleborn, the entire universe appears to be at the very edge of extinction. The last remaining species and civilized beings have fled to the last habitable planet called Solus. An evil, malevolent group of bad guys called the Varelsi.
