2K announces new IP Battleborn for current-gen consoles

2K  and Gearbox Software today announced Battleborn, a new IP described as a “triple-A hero-shooter experience” for Xbox One, PS4 and Windows PC.

“If Borderlands 2 is a shooter-looter, Battleborn is a hero-shooter,” said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. “As a genre-fused, hobby-grade, co-operative and competitive FPS exploding with eye-popping style and an imaginative universe, Battleborn is the most ambitious video game that Gearbox has ever created.”

Battleborn represents the combined might of the development and publishing teams behind the  success of Borderlands 2, which to date has sold-in more than 9-million units worldwide and has become 2K’s highest-selling game of all time,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “The size, scope, and ambition of Battleborn are unlike any other title in 2K’s history, and the result is a defining next-gen co-operative experience.”

Battleborn is already available for pre-order and will release in 2016 on Xbox One, PS4 and Windows PC.
