Today, 2K and Gearbox Software revealed that Battleborn’s Story Mode will take a TV-style approach to its format where you and your friends, as the commander of the Battleborn , are the stars of every episode.
2K and Gearbox think of May 3rd as Battleborn’s series premiere, because the game’s Story Mode is structured just like some of their favourite episodic television shows. Collectively, the “season” included with the game has one large over-arching story spanning eight episodes (plus a prologue), and each episode tells a self-contained story about your heroes’ fight to save the last star, Solus.
You can get a glimpse of this story in the new Battleborn – Live Together or Die Alone Story Trailer, which can be downloaded or embedded using the links below.
