See what's in store for Battleborn!
Today at PlayStation Experience 2015, Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford jumped on stage to give attendees a first look at one of the oddest, cutest and most fearsome playable heroes you’ve yet to see in a game: A penguin…in a hulking mech suit. Because Battleborn.
Here’s a wrap up of all the Battleborn announcements if you missed PlayStation’s press conference this morning:
Introducing Toby, the Destroyer!
The 16th Battleborn hero, Toby, may look like a huggable little penguin ready to march off some arctic shelf – but don’t underestimate this angry engineering genius. After being rejected by the Peacekeepers faction for being “too cute to fight,” Toby’s typical mild-mannered temperament turned to anger. He channeled that rage into constructing a grotesque and insanely powerful mechanized suit and joined the Rogue faction in the fight to save the last star.
Open Beta Coming in 2016
Start sharpening your swords and loading those miniguns, the Battleborn Open Beta is coming next year to the PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
