Battleborn will feature 25 playable characters, a solo or co-op campaign and three multiplayer modes

2K and Gearbox Software today offered up a ton of information on the upcoming Battleborn.

At launch, the title will include twenty five playable heroes, a story mode that can be played solo or in five-player co-op, three multiplayer modes and more.

Battleborn is set in a distant future, where nearly every star in the universe has gone dark at the hands of a mysterious enemy. Solus, the last star, is the only beacon of hope for the universe’s surviving population,” 2K said of the game. “The fading of stars has led to a great war among those desperate for the last remaining resources. Heroes, called Battleborn, fight for the dominance of their unique factions as all life in the universe teeters on the brink of extinction. Now, the mysterious enemy is threatening to finish what they’ve started, and only an unlikely alliance between the universe’s most powerful heroes can stop them.”

Of the 25 playable heroes, each can level up to level 10 via different game modes.

When it comes to multiplayer, three modes will be present: Incursion, which sounds like Horde mode; Devastation, which is a hardpoint-focused team deathmatch; finally, Meltdown seems the closest to a MOBA: a points-based affair with “minions” marching down a single lane, attempting to score points.

We’ll be seeing Battleborn at this year’s E3.
